| - This review is on its HAPPY HOUR ONLY.
It's a nice watering SPOT for Happy Hour over drinks and bar food dishes at $3 each. Its happy hour menu is limited, however.
YELPIER DETAILS:
Happy Hours:
- 2:30-5:30 & 9pm-close, M-F
This establishment has a large, inviting, covered patio section, a pretty spacious dining area, and an attractive bar counter. I like its horse shoe-shaped bar counter, which has eye-pleasing, well stocked liquor shelves.
- Well, its barstools seem to be a bit too high, however. There are enough Sports TV all around the restaurant.
HAPPY HOUR FOOD & DRINKS
- The selection of $3 drinks is good, though limited to draft beer (4 choices), sangaria, and well drinks; NO special offers for wine.
The menu of $3 bar food includes pizza slice (1 choice of toping) meatball slider, rigatoni, and spaghetti [- See pic]. I had a Guinness and a Kellerweissen beers; Meatball slider (choice of meat and sauce), and a slice of pizza. Beers were good as expected. But I had different ratings for my bar food.
- The thin-crust pizza with pepperoni topping was very tasty and the slice was surprisingly large (- See pic). Excellent!
- However, my slider (beef with spicy sauce) was not as good as I'd expect, for a dish that reflects the namesake of the restaurant. THAT meatball somehow lacked texture and taste, as well as being a bit on the dry side. The spicy sauce was not spicy at all, I needed to add some red pepper flakes to spice it up; adding a little Tobasco sauce would have been even better.
EXCELLENT SERVICE
- Its serving staff was friendly and efficient. The barkeep was super friendly and attentive. The hostess was very pleasant, greeting potential customers at the entrance, patiently explaining to them various menus items. The mgr and even the hostess came over to chat with customers, asking how they like their orders; later they said good-bye to customers cheerfully at departure, really making customers feel welcome!
Yes, I will go back there for Happy Hour.
- I think it's a good SPOT for it with friends, especially BEFORE and/or AFTER a movie at the AMC.
- BUT we would probably stay away from their beef meatball sliders. On second thought, for $3 only, though, I just might try their other signiture meatballs, and would ask the chef to spice up the spicy sauce before hand.
