Like any classic bar, the Rex menu is mostly made up of traditional bar food. Unlike the others, they actually make the food fresh and not out of your grocer's freezer.
It was one of those nights where I couldn't decide on what to order. Nothing really looked that great and it was expected. It took me about 10 minutes to look through the menu only to end up ordering the Fish and Chips... My date however was quick to decide on the Caesar Salad. (Obviously)
Food came out exceptionally fast - it was almost like they knew what we were ordering. I'm not going to critique the presentation because let's face it; it's bar food. I have to say, my meal wasn't that bad! Two generous portions of breaded fish with a large portion of fries filled me up. I was satisfied and so was my date.
Moving on, the atmosphere was wicked. Mind you, this was on a Monday night and the bar was packed! I'm new to Jazz and Blues bars so this was a first for me and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. There's something about live music that allows people to connect with the artists musical message on a personal level. All the focus is directed to the performer and for that reason alone, I found a new appreciation for Jazz and Blues.
