| - It's not often I make it to Downtown Willoughby. I used to go to Wild Goose for the city's best pizza, so when I heard the same ownership had opened a new joint, I made it a point to stop in the other night. Set in a location that used to be a rundown bar/nightclub, a complete overhaul has been done. The front of the dining room has a garage door which opens up onto the sidewalk so walking by, you can catch a whiff of what I was soon to find out, was amazing BBQ. I sat at the bar as I was waiting for my guest to arrive. Jason, the bartender presented me with the draft beer list mentioning that all pints were $3 that night (Wed). While the selection was not as extensive as some of the other bars in Downtown Willoughby, the content and price was on point! I ordered a Great Lakes Edmond Fitzgerald, a great locally brewed Porter.
I looked at the menu while enjoying the beer and had decided on the Smoked Mac & Cheese... When my guest arrived, we opted to stay with Jason at the bar and watch the Cavaliers game which had just started. I added smoked chicken to the Mac which arrived arrived within 15 min. Sauce was rich and creamy with smoky goodness blended in.
Atmosphere was nice. Dimly lit, conversationally noisy, bar and dining was about 75% full, good for a Wed night. Staff was pleasant and attentive.
I don't know if the Morehouse will keep me from getting the city's best pizza next time I'm in town, but I am glad I gave the place a shot.
