This might be one of the best places to hang out during the summer with plenty of patio space in the rear as well as some facing W. 25th. Plus they are able to fold back the walls on both sides creating a very airy inside.
The tables are geared toward communal gatherings which is popular with the aferwork/pregame crowds. So, yeah, it's a fun ambiance.
They also have an extensive beer list but I'm more into the cocktails and those are quite original. I went last week and I jumped into the "Sandyfornication," consisting of honey vanilla vodka and pomegranate, apricot simple syrup, apple cider vinegar and orange juice -- an appreciatively complex way to get a sweet and tart taste of summer.
Jeannene and I each shared an order of braised beef tacos (3 for $12) and rock shrimp tacos (3 for $14). The beef was tangy goodness and the hunks of avocado added just enough creaminess without overwhelming the dish. The peppers and other toppings added just the right amount of taste without stealing the spotlight from the meat. The shrimp was quite the same with the perfectly cooked protein being complimented by the fresh lettuce and other toppings and tangy sauce. We had a side of chips and pico de gallo with one dish and truffle fries with the other. The chips were thick but not greasy while the fries were so well seasoned you didn't really need the ketchup.
One other thing -- in a crowded bar/restaurant, the waitstaff can go missing a half-hour at a time. But Townhall appears to have developed a perfect strategy because our waitress seemed to have tables spread all over the place but she was still checking in on us like every 5-10 minutes. Other bars should look into what these guys are doing.
