We were in the mood for some bar food... i.e. nachos and wings. We have walked by Al's many times so it was time to try it out. The bar has really neat decor with the tire rims on the wall. Tables are clean with tall ceilings.
it wasn't very busy when we walked in but by the time we left it was. I only say this because they are a smoking bar. I didn't realize until after we were sitting there for a bit. The smoke wasn't too bad at first but when you fill the place up, it was really bothering the hubby. I would have thought the tall ceilings would ventilate the smoke away from the dining area better, but I was wrong.
It was really a one man show there. He was tending bar and waiting on all of the tables. It was a little hectic but he seemed to handle it pretty well. He was really friendly and informative about their menus. He brought us a menu from Presidio next door along with Al's menu. They apparently share kitchens so you can order anything from that menu as well. Makes it convenient if you know you wanted something from Presidio.
As far as the food, nachos were ok. But that's about it,... just ok. Chicken that we had ordered for the extra topping was few and far between. The wings were good. They were a nice size with a wonderful buffalo hot wing flavor. They aren't breaded so I feel a little better about eating them. ;-)
So I would go back if someone wanted to go but I won't be rushing back on my own.
