There was a Yelp deal going on so figured we'd try it out despite some very negative reviews. So my boyfriend has his jersey on, he's all excited to watch the game, and when we get there, the place is PACKED despite it being 10am. Literally only two seats available at the bar. So we take them. Despite the many TVs, there was only one showing the Pats game which was all the way across the room and not viewable from our seats. We decided not to order anything without first making sure we could watch the game since that was WHY we were there. We spent a few minutes trying to figure out if there was a TV nobody was watching. There ended up being two practically next to each other that had the same game on. Perfect! So we asked the female bartender if she could have the Pats game put on. Her answer was simply, \"I'm not sure.\" and she turned around and went elsewhere. No offer to find out for us or any other assistance. My boyfriend and I just looked at each other like, \"Okaaay... what do we do now?\" and we started debating whether to leave or not (we did buy the Yelp deal after all and the game had started). A couple minutes later the bartender came back and asked what we wanted to drink. We explained that we weren't going to stay if we couldn't watch the Pats game. I asked her once again, if there was any way we could get a TV tuned in to it. She pointed at a rather intimidating looking man with grey hair which I assumed to be the owner by the way he was walking all around the dining areas. \"You can go ask him.\" Great... I was actually dreading this because I read in a previous review that the owner was not very accommodating with customers (and my boyfriend was too shy to go ask). So I moseyed on up to him and *gulp* asked. He gave me a sour look and thought for a moment, but didn't say no. He held up his finger and said, \"We'll see.\" as he went into a back room. Good sign... I think? So we're sitting there with our fingers crossed, and finally the game comes on! It was bizarre how grateful we felt being \"allowed\" to watch a game at a sports bar! The food wasn't bad by any means, but nothing to write home about. I recall the draft beer selection not being all that awesome, so I stuck with my good ol' stand-by... Guinness. I will say that the male bartender that day WAS very friendly and welcomed us as newcomers (even though it was after we asked for the check). He just may have saved the experience and we might give this place another go."^^ . . "2014-11-15T00:00:00"^^ . . "1"^^ .
