Okay. How much do I love the gutted Hardy Boy books as menus? I never went here when it was A Bar Named Sue, but the contemporary, if not overtly hipster-ish changes - i.e., the aforementioned menus, sleek design, bartender with ironic facial hair, Splashdown on the stereo and the name itself, all they're missing is a bear trap - yeah the changes aren't so bad, they just look like they were made based on Tumblr suggestions.
It was around 6pm and quiet when I was there both times. None of the clientele that the lounge seems to want to attract - just yet. Mushroom and Red Pepper Bruschetta came out pretty quickly and was delicious. Another time I was here, my friend ordered the Taquitos and said they were good. Came out pretty quickly too. I appreciate the fact that the menu is Gluten Free; I can come here with the two people I know that suffer from Celiac's. Don't come here if you're starving though, the portions are pretty small. Which is great if all you want is something to soak up the cocktails you're swigging, but not so great if you've got dinner pangs.
This is a place I would have no problem coming back to, but it's not exactly a place I would deliberately seek out. The service is good, the food is good, and the cocktails are good... but too much surrounding competition and not enough to entice me to come back.
