First let me say this is another case where I wish Yelp had a half star option. If this were the case I would be placing this at 3.5.
I discovered online that this sports bar held a free poker league with potential entries to the WSOP. Since there would also be playoff football I was sold and ready to make the journey.
Location: I did not include this in my star rating, but the bar is located next to a discount movie theater in hat seems to be a run down strip mall. Cool with me, but I could see some being taken aback.
Ambiance: The inside was a little divey. You can tell the place has been around for a while. There was a noticeable smell. As you got use to the place it disappeared but it was like a stale beer smell. There are tons of TVs. I can see where some would experience sensory overload. Probably be better with less TVs that were a bit larger. If you are a poker player they did have little poker tables which was cool. Also all the fun bar games could be found pool, dart, etc...
Food: There is a huge selection of offerings. I did a sampler mix. The mozzarella sticks and garlic bread where fine. I'd say it is in the average range for bar food. I definitely would want to try the pizza next time I go back.
Service: There is a lot of staff. All were friendly to me. I was able to tell at times there was confusion with other patrons. Let me say though this place was packed. This was the busiest I have seen a sports bar since I've moved here.
Price: For me this was maybe one of the biggest negatives. When I compare what I had to quite a few other local establishments it was pricey. I'd say each time was about one to two more (beers and bar apps) then what I would have hoped to pay. I'm by no means a tightwad, but since the ambiance is not amazing it was not as if I was paying for the experience.
Overall: I went on an insanely busy day so I also dealt with a wide range of patrons. The crowd in parts was rough which may have jaded my experience a bit. I think I'd sit out on the patio next time. I do plan on going back for poker and to try something different. It was an okay experience but I've had quite a bit better.
