| - I had a nice dinner here before a show in town. We sat at the bar because all the tables left were marked for larger groups, but I like sitting at the bar, so that was quiet alright. The menu isn't big, but it's focused. You're coming here and you know you'll have pizzas, pastas, and maybe a few salads and that's all they need. The pasta with simple tomato sauce was flavorful and I enjoyed it. It got a little one-note halfway through; I would have liked more fresh herbs to add some brightness throughout the whole meal.
The bartenders were friendly and fairly attentive for the most part, though they didn't seem very busy just yet, so they should have been keeping an eye on us. The only odd part was one of the staff members sitting at the bar eating. I couldn't tell if he was on the clock or off, but I was a little confused because he seemed like he had some managerial position. Other staff members were coming to him and asking questions, sampling new beers he told them were just brought in, and generally interacting with him while he sat and ate a pizza. He wasn't being crass or loud, I just wasn't sure if he was being entirely professional.
All in all, I had a great night. If you're torn between a draft or a cocktail, I'd go with a cocktail. It seemed like a better value. Most of the beers were between $5.75 and $7 and anything over 7% ABV (as most of the higher-priced beers were) were served in 12 oz glasses and the Lemoncello Collins my boyfriend ordered was $10 (and full size). I'd pay 3 more for that.
