I wanted to like Hal's, but unfortunately, my last two experiences were disappointing. I have to say the bar food is not good. We ordered nachos that were cold and soggy, and the pepperoni rolls were made of that store bought dough, which was given to us raw inside. At first we thought it was the mozzarella so we ate it but it was raw dough - very raw. Some of the service is also unprofessional at Hal's and they seem to run the show there. We sat in the back once and watched as they locked a girl out while she was banging on the door to get back in. It was really distracting because of our seat in the back. Then, recently, our waitress sat with friends chatting during her shift. The place reminds me of a college bar instead of a nicer gastropub.
