| - Came for drinks on gay pride parade day. We were pretty worried that it would be crowded. They were worried, too, and had reduced their menu significantly to prepare. We were both wrong.
It wasn't crowded but I was disappointed at how little they were offering food-wise. I did try the fish and chips which everyone had recommended. Honestly, I was not impressed. The fried batter was great, truly, but it was fried batter. The fish, on the other hand, was dry. Not like flaky and delicate. Like bad. If this is their best dish, I'd strongly suggest skipping the food altogether.
The drinks were solid. I tried multiple citrus margaritas--all were impressive. They have this HUGE citrus press right on the counter of the bar next to a multi-tiered basket stand of citrus fruits. They seem to do it all. Lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, all available fresh and freshly squeezed. The drinks aren't traditional, but with the fresh squeezed juice are undeniably good. Come here for this. My friends also enjoyed the variety of beers.
The service was friendly, but slow, even given that they were prepared for a crowd that hadn't yet shown. We liked everyone we talked to and the staff were very accommodating, but more than half of our drinks needed reminding and we had to track down waters and water refills, napkins, and a bill correction. Bathrooms were nice, though.
I'd go back, especially to watch a game, but I wouldn't do food there again.
