| - My favorite Yelper and I wanted to catch up on "current events" and since we both know the bartender here but yet we've never been, we chose this place to have a few drinks, chat and watch a football game. Pop that cherry!
This is a NY Giants/ Yankees bar. People here are REALLY friendly and you can tell it's a locals bar that's way better than those chain bars. The bartenders know the regular customers but will welcome noobs like me. The bartenders are lively, they have fun doing their job and they know how to interact with customers.
I was instructed to get the couch area since I got there early. Comfy couches, flat screen TV and a table...feels like being at home. Mario (the giant bartender that sounds like JB from 98.5 radio station) was nice enough to find me an outlet so I can charge my phone and I didn't even have to ask.
The pros helped the noobs decide on the food. They have sweet deals here. Large pizza + chicken wings + a pitcher of beer for $21.99. We got three of those for our group of about 8 people. We got meatball pizza, cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, mild wings and Italian wings. THE BEST bar food I've had and for the price that can't be beat! The meatball pizza, mild wings and Italian wings were clear winners in my book. Normally, I find mild wings to be boring - theirs were plain but they were soooo good and crispy. The Italian wings were a bit garlicky, yum! I've heard good things about their stromboli too so, I'd have to come back try that.
They were giving free raffle tickets and I won a T-shirt at the end if the night! Sweet!
*Wrong DJ and radio station. Mario sounds like Shawn Tempesta from Mix 94.1!!!
