| - After my husband's birthday party at KISS Mini-Golf was said and done, a handful of us decided we weren't quite ready to head home. While hanging out in the parking lot discussing our options, we noticed the sign for Firkin. Having my handy Yelp knowledge, I knew this place just opened and that they had over 40 beers on tap. I was easily able to sell my friends on the idea of hanging out there for the rest of the (late) night.
The space inside of Firkin is quite large with plenty of seating for dinner, as well as a large bar and a lounge area with couches and pool tables. Everything is new and shiny and there are plenty of TV's to catch a game. The employees were super friendly and very knowledgeable despite only have been open for a few weeks. Everyone in our group really enjoyed the atmosphere here.
They offer specials almost every night of the week, and for this particular night (Friday) they had $3 well drinks and house wine. Sadly, I didn't get to take advantage of these offers having had too much to drink at the party beforehand. My friends, however, decided on getting one of the many draft beers available and they were able to sample a couple to see what they liked before putting in their orders. I'm not sure if it's standard procedure to get samples or if they were being nice to us since we wandered in at one in the morning; either way, my friends were grateful.
Firkin offers a full menu but I didn't have a chance to check it out to see the items or pricing. They also have a limited late night menu from which I ordered the onion rings, one of the few vegetarian choices I saw. The onion rings were good but a bit too greasy for me. For the late night menu, think typical pub fare like fish and chips and lots of appetizers.
My friends and I were all glad that we made the walk over the parking lot to give Firkin a try. It was nice to sit down and hang out by the bar to eat and drink and then move the party on over to the lounge area. Things are a little slow there right now since they are new, in a parking lot with a ton of dead retail space, and their location has a blocked view from Hard Rock. If tourists were smart, they would come over to Firkin to pregame with cheap drinks before heading over to Hard Rock for the clubs or gambling.
I definitely recommend for the good atmosphere, huge beer selection, and great drink specials.
In the same parking lot as KISS Mini-Golf, across Harmen from the Hard Rock.
