So I must say... bacon is a good thing! and the Salty Sow delivers the goods!!! Made my first visit here last night and was extremely satisfied with the ambiance, friendly staff & great food. The bar is welcoming for those (like myself last night) who dine alone with a couple TV's to catch some game action. Now its not a sports bar atmosphere but when you are having a drink and some eats by yourself its nice to have the 'ol tube (did I just date myself?) to watch.
At the bar they have a great selection, although not huge, of local craft brews from brewery's around the state. The bar tenders where, prompt and pleasant with their service. The kitchen was equally as efficient even on a busy Saturday night - my food arrived almost to quickly.
Now speaking of the food, the menu had a wide range of interesting starters, salads and entrees - many with bacon/pork incorporated in some unique way.. I ordered the pork shoulder, and why not right? Its the Salty SOW after all!. It was fantastic!! the right balance of fat and flavor with a complementary seasoning that worked perfectly. I saw another bar dinner with the beef shoulder that looked amazing so on my next visit I will definitely give that a try.
Oh.. and they have a nice open patio a with a live musician that wasn't to loud but sounded great. The Salty Sow would be a nice gathering spot for a large group of friends for sure. I will be back!
