Huge fan of the Thirsty Beaver so was anxious to give it a try. Unfortunately I can't rave about any aspect in particular. Major issues that would probably cause me to not come back:
1) You have to pay for your chips and salsa. When it did arrive the salsa was in a small plastic ramekin enough for 4-5 scoops. There were 4 of us eating so it went quick.
2) Paid $9.00 ea for a patron margarita. It came in a small clear plastic cup maybe 10oz. Add a bunch of ice and I was done with my drink in 4 sips. If you're going to be a dive bar, then have dive bar prices. For $9.00 a piece I would enjoy a nice sized margarita glass.
Again maybe just wrong expectation. Folks were nice, food was average and food for 4 was $60+ for lunch. With so many great choices I will opt for something different. I'll come back for a cold beer.
