We had such a blast here! I have visited the Whining Pig in uptown and love that location as well. I particularly enjoy the games available for everyone to play. I feel as though it provides fun with friends or can even become an icebreaker to meet new people at any given opportunity.
I was a little bummed they were out of one of their panini but, they must be that good because we did arrive rather later in the evening. The staff was very friendly and pretty chill which made for a pretty chill environment.
I had a few of their brown bag options at a discount because the wide variety of beer selection leaves me scratching my head with 2 empty hands... easily solved with a "surprise me" type of option which is left up to the server.
They also didn't seem to mind all the doodling on the chalk board, I just can't help myself when there is a chalkboard and chalk to doodle on.
All and all, I am stone things are coming out to the east side of the valley because it's been rather unamusing until the past year or so. It's a nice small joint to enjoy a few beers and just chill.
