| - This is a great place to have a casual meal. It's obviously a pub atmosphere but it's large enough to accommodate a lot of people without it getting crowded. They also have many well placed flat screen tvs. (I just wish they would turn on the closed captioning! Its one thing if you're watching a sporting event but when they have on an analysis show I want to hear the analysis!) My husband had the beer sampler and enjoyed most of the varieties, the Raj IPA was his favorite (the 8th Street Ale and Kiltlifter are the more popular ones). We had the soft pretzel appetizer which was ok, but I'm spoiled when it comes to pretzels having lived in Philly and lived on them for my entire college career. I wish it came with a honey mustard to dip in and not just regular spicy mustard. I had the French Dip which was solid - not the best I've had but still pretty good. My husband had the Tap Room Tenderloin sandwich that he enjoyed - the onion straws and bleu cheese were a nice touch.
Now this is just stupid. (Saturday, 4/13)
Ring ring ring. . .
"Hello, Four Peaks"
"Hi, will you be showing the Red Sox/Yankees game?"
"Yes, definitely."
"Even though it's being blacked out?"
"Blacked out?"
"Yeah, Fox won't be showing the game because the Diamondbacks game is on at the same time. You're getting an east coast feed? From NY or Boston?"
"Feed?"
"Yeah, you know, you're getting the broadcast from the Fox affiliate in NY or Boston?"
". . .Um. . .we'll definitely be showing the game. . ."
"Ok. . ."
Drive to Four Peaks
"Hello! Welcome to Four Peaks! Table for 2?"
"Yeah, somewhere we can see the Sox/Yankees game."
"Oh sorry, it's being blacked out"
"What?! But I called 15 minutes ago and you said you were showing it!"
"No sorry, that Diamondbacks game is on at the same time so we're not getting the Sox/Yankees game"
"THAT'S WHAT I SAID ON THE PHONE AND YOU SAID YOU WERE SHOWING IT!"
"Oh, well do you know who you talked to?"
"It wasn't you?! I don't know! Some moron who said you'd be showing the game!"
You're not getting my business if you blatantly lie to me just to get me in the door.
