I can't believe other reviewers went to the same place. I went for burger night, singles $2.50, doubles $4.25. Cheese and fries are extra. First, the burger was cooked cracker-crisp. I've never had a burger make me thirsty before. Secondly, they allow smoking, so the stench affects your sense of taste, too. Thirdly, instead of music on the speakers and sports on the tv, they were playing some super - annoying reality TV show, where the only thing you could really hear was that every other word was bleeped out. The bar stools were the most uncomfortable I've ever sat in, but they looked better than the chairs on the floor, which could not have been cheaper.
The chairs are an exception, though. The rest of the place looks good, when you can see through the smoke. Exposed pipes, brick walls, and tin ceilings, it really is attractive. The bar, itself, is very nice, highly lacquered wood on a top that feels good under your elbows, and they keep it clean, which is nice.
Also on the positive side, the waitress was good, effective, though not overly friendly. There is a pretty nice, varied selection of beers on tap, and the waitress had a printed beer menu that described each selection in detail.
Maybe it deserves better than one star. The smoke is a personal preference, but I didn't know you could smoke in any restaurant anymore. I just can't get past how terrible the burger was, though.
