I've been on a bit of a Ballatine kick this summer. I might be biased because I worked there the first couple summers when it opened but I think it's a great pick in DT Willoughby.
The food is decent, but the best part is really the atmosphere and beer selection. I love the open windows that face the street. It's fun to place to have drinks with friends and split some appetizers. Try the Belgian fries.
I don't usually hang out here very late so I don't know about the supposed d-bags and bad music that seem to happen after a certain hour. I guess you have to figure out if that's true for yourself....ha?
