I hated EB's the first time I went there. Why? I don't know. Maybe I was just in a bad mood that day? Maybe it was before every person I know started frequenting it.
I can't imagine not loving it now. The moment I step up to the bar and catch Warren's attention, he has a PBR out for me. Love that!
I'm no pool shark, and my darts tend to go rogue, but I'm not against watching my more skillful friends play (and heckling is fun as well.)
At times I miss that you can smoke inside, but the patio has grown on me, especially for the (sometimes blurry) view of Uptown.
It's definitely a go-to place for me, where I always feel at home and always know at least a few people...and sometimes everyone! Definitely make it a stop in your plaza-midwood bar wanderin's.
