You can set own channel on tv's; just ask. I've got them to turn from sports to something I like: CNN, Animal Planet, Discovery, or The Frame HD. \n\nFood good - locally sourced but nothing too fancy - it is just simple pub food that is cooked well, with a few twists. The chicken parmesan sandwich is one of my favorites (always fresh, melts in your mouth), the charcuterie is also great; not the finest cheeses and meat but a huge portion that you could not make at home for the same $10; compared to spending $30-$40 for the same thing at The District. I also liked their quesadilla, and salads. Soup is yummy, and you have to try the yam fries. Best yam fries in the city; homemade and cooked in oil twice to be the right crispness and softness inside. Also spiced nicely and served with a homemade dip.\n\nFor dessert avoid the mini donuts; I sent them back it was that bad. The ice cream sandwich cookies are amazing; simple but delicious. I've heard good things about the bread pudding thing too.\n\nThe service is has improved a lot. First night I went there in Feb 2012 I was horrified; the waitress took 32 min for drink order of 4 of their signature cocktail. Kept trying to promote desperadoes the whole damn night too; 4 staff members approached us trying to get us to go clubing with their free vip promo. We were not interested or impressed. Every over time I have been there though the service has been great, especially on a slow night. \n\nLast is the drinks; they are great. This is one of the few bars that when you order a burnt martini they do it right. Try their \"Not your average Joe\" too for an awesome cocktail. It has good quality gin, cucumber, pepper, lime, and 7-up. Sounds strange but it is yummy! They can make any drink you want even if it is not on the menu; they have trained bartenders. Also the glassware is nice; this place has class and they really could charge more; i'd pay it."^^ . "0"^^ . .
