| - We have been here at least ten times. It was me and the wife's go-to spot for date nights. On the first few visits, i was enthusiastic about the place and would have easily given it a 4. However, i have discovered there's a lot to dislike.
First up, their hours suck. Bars that close by midnight are a huge pet peeve of mine.
Secondly, the specials suck. They have an oyster night on Tuesday and Wednesday but the rest of the week has nothing worthwhile, and they've done away with taco night.
Thirdly, the menu is way too expensive and food is way too small. Nothing proves my point faster than mistakenly ordering their spicy sriracha chicken wings and receiving 6 tiny wings for $14. It actually straight up angered me - and this problem is pretty much the same across the board.. Menu also needs updating and is incredibly stale. No charcuterie and cheese board anymore also highly disappointing
Oh, and the last time i ordered their steak frites the steak looked BOILED instead of grilled, and was chewy as shoe leather
Beer selection not updated often and not overly interesting.
Now we would choose Earls or Bier Markt over a return to Wilcox because the value just isn't there unfortunately
PS - the bar music playlist makes me want to stab my eardrums. It seems to contain only Justin Bieber songs and badly autotuned rap music, it's remarkable really
-----------------
Edit - thank you for following up I just read the managements comments..
Not sure about the convoluted wing process but they were of average size and flavor and just very very disappointing.. Honestly if it were served with another component it might not seem like such a poor value.. Even veggie sticks and homemade dip would have helped, and cost you nothing. They are definitely not 6 per lb count sized wings I am sorry, not sure who told you that
As far as the beer selection goes, the menu is often outdated or out of several beers. On last visit there was no Smashbomb Atomic, no Spearhead Hawaiian, and no new beers since our first visit.. There was a nice hibiscus beer priced at $10 a bottle
Squid ink pasta and squids from Spain don't really scream 'seasonal and local' to me but I do appreciate that you are adding new items to the menu.. That will help a lot
Lastly, why are the drinks never discounted or appetizers on sale? I don't understand your strategy -- if you don't have the traffic to stay open later on most week nights, why not make specials that will bring people in?
Wing night. Half priced apps night. Half priced wine bottles night. $5 craft pints. Honestly, you should just hire me as a consultant to whip this place into shape. I accept ganja and scotch whiskey as forms of payment.
I would change a lot of things but even things like this would renew interest in the pub for me.. It seems simple. Look at Moxies, they've got great weekday specials and so does Earls.. No reason you guys can't too?
We will be back to give it another try. Thank you
PS - Rebecca and Taylor are your best servers
