I was really excited to hear about this interesting new bar that was going to be coming to our neighborhood and really wanted to like it.
My husband and I decided to try it out for the first time this past sunday and unfortunately were fairly disappointed and wouldn't likely return.
The concept of the bar was really cool and the whole set up and everything was really neat and we did enjoy that aspect of things, however nothing on the menu really appealed to us. I was expecting the menu to match the "low key" setting and it didn't really do that. Would have liked to seen more snacky type items . Even something as simple as a cheese plate. Since we were already there we decided to order a couple beer and the Parmesan fries to share. While waiting for our food we did notice some others getting their food and to be fair it did look good. Just not what we were in the mood for when coming to a place like this.
Anyway the fries arrived quickly enough and were actually really good ( and I don't usually even like fries very much). However after we were given our food we were hoping to ask for more aioli sauce for dipping but we didn't see the server again until our food was all gone. We then waited for 15 mins with empty glasses before anyone came around. So we decided against ordering another drink.
My major complaint with this place though was the pricing. Very expensive for what it was. It cost over $7 for a beer which wasn't even a full pint. Our total for 2 beer and one order of fries to share was $27 and with tip put it over $30. Not really what you would expect for a place thats supposed to be low key and for something as simple as a beer and fries. I also didn't notice anything any where about any future specials or anything so looks like that is the standard price for their beer.
Overall I would say it is a very cool concept but I would have enjoyed it more had we been able to share maybe a pitcher of beer and a plate of nachos. Just seems to be more suiting for a container bar. Doubt I will be back unless I hear of some changes to the food or drink menus. And come on...I am never impressed by a place that doesnt know how to pour a full pint.
