Today was my first visit to BSG and I'd say most of the Yelp reviews are pretty spot on except we had great service. Definitely agree with the fact that it's freezing in there!!!
BSG was kind enough to host the UM alumni club's watching party for the game today (extra star for that!!! And I know, I know-you crazy Badger fans-that may be enough to turn you away-don't let it!). It's a smaller space and we had four of the tables. The rest of the place was filled with brunchers. Despite being pretty packed, our service was great and they split checks no problem.
Yes, the exterior (and interior) is rough around the edges but who cares? Plenty of TVs, friendly staff, surprisingly excellent beer selection (90 minute IPA and fantasy factory both on tap!) and good food. They also had a DIY Bloody Mary bar which many in our party enjoyed. Everyone enjoyed their food. I split the Juicy Lucy with a friend and it was average. Another tackled the Thor and loved it.
Tots are good but nothing special. Where they really excelled were the dipping sauces of which there are many choices including some unique ones such as avocado ranch. We had the garlic aioli and Sriracha aioli, the latter of which was awesome.
A big thanks to the owner for having us!!! I'll be back UM game or not :)
