| - While it's less than a mile away, my first visit to Teakwood's was via an expiring Groupon, and I was pleasantly surprised.
Outside of the Four Peaks taps (one is rotating, which made me very happy), the beer selection is pretty sports bar bland. The food is solid. The service is solid.
What's strange about Teakwoods is the ambiance. At one end, a dreadlocked singer-songwriter was opening for another folky act with an Americana-tinged hipster-y crowd looking on. The music was surprisingly good. Around the bar, there were some gentlemen who appeared addicted to growth hormone and mixed martial arts. At the other end, around the televisions and booths, there was a random assortment of patrons, from families to people just hanging out with a beer and generally watching TV or playing bar trivia. It was probably the oddest mix of customers I'd ever seen in one bar, but I liked it. I really did.
I'll have to run through some of the other entrees and appetizers to get a full grasp of the menu, but Teakwoods has a weird appeal, and I think it'll replace Half Moon as my go-to walking distance sports bar.
