Wanted to check this place out because it was on Bar Rescue and I'm a big fan of the show. I went with my totally awesome friend Sheri, and upon walking in, we thought it looked pretty cool. However, that thought faded quickly.
There were no specials, no cocktail menu. The only cocktails they advertised were 4 pricey Bloody Mary drinks. I was tempted to order the Mary's Garden but changed my mind because it was 7:30pm and it probably would not go well with the pizza
The four cheese mini pizza I ordered was meh. The menu did not say that it didn't have sauce. The blue cheese on the pizza was overwhelming and rich. It was basically bread and cheese.
My awesome friend saw on their website they had bacon wrapped jalapeƱo poppers. It wasn't even on the menu and the bartender/ waitress didn't even mention it. She also didn't mention one thing about the self-service beer which was such a big deal on Bar Rescue. We noticed that no one was using the self-service beer station and we suspected the bartenders were not promoting because they won't get tips?
The bartender even talked my friend out of ordering a burger because "the burgers are really too big."
The place is rather misleading compared to how they advertise it on tv and their website. It appeased to be a really cool place and turned out to be a mediocre place, just another neighborhood bar.
There was a lot of riff raff in there and overall was just another video poker tavern.
Last but not least my 2 wines were NOT comped even though I was playing the machines. That is a load of crap! We won't be back. Sorry Jon Taffer.
