| - Solid bar food and nice beer selection. I went with buddies on a Friday after work for some pizza, wings, and beer. Very nicely done on those fronts - the pizza was hearty and had great quality ingredients. It was adequately sauced and they absolutely nailed the crust in terms of texture and flavor. We ended up ordering 2 more because it was so good, and because most of the guys in our group already have girlfriends so they don't care about getting fat. Their wings were dry rub, and so tasty. They kind of remind me of the Greenhouse Tavern wings, but normal sized, and more blue collar. The staff promptly took care of us during our few hours there, and even struck up some friendly conversation as well. This is exactly what you want in a pizza/wings place - great atmosphere, wide beer selection, and unpretentious bar food.
One small nit--the Bavarian pretzel. It was too hard on the outside and the texture was all wrong. It kept crumbling and falling apart, whereas an ideal soft pretzel has a pliable and robust surface crust - so that you can pull it apart without crumbling. It's all about the texture when it comes to soft pretzels. But damn, the accompanying cheese sauce made my knees weak and left my taste buds begging for more.
It would be nice if they had NBA TV. There are so many great teams to watch this year, and I'd love to make this the regular spot.
