Review on restaurant (food) part, not the bar (drinks):
Went here after a Styx concert with a girlfriend of mine. We went around 11pm on a Saturday night and was glad it wasn't loud or crowded (I guess it's just bar people hanging around this time). We ordered two appetizers and shared the Firkin burger. In the past, bar food have always been mediocre which made me think that I shouldn't even bother eating at bars or pubs. However, lately, I've been seeing a trend where bars are definitely upgrading their food quality. The appetizers we got were the sweet potato fries and Irish nachos. Both were pretty good actually, which made me think that it's okay to order one of their entrees. They ran out of fish and chips so I opted for their burger... And I'm actually glad I did. I've never been impressed by burgers since every burger joint tastes the same to me (yeah, sorry) but Firkin's burger was perfection! The meat was cooked and seasoned right and was very juicy. I don't even remember what else went in the burger but everything tasted so good. One thing I do remember is that there was a hint of sweetness in the sauce? I also chose the garlic fries as a side. It smelled and tasted so garlic-y and I didn't find out why until I was halfway done and noticed real minced garlic pieces on the bottom. I don't know about you, but this impressed me since they didn't just used garlic flavoring and sprinkled it on top of the fries but they actually cooked it with garlic to give its flavor. Even without a Groupon deal, I wouldn't mind going back here.
