Love Life, Hate Kittens

[delicious mac and cheese. pic from yelp (via Andre Y. - fantastic reviews btw)]

Space - Great.

It’s a beautiful space. Bi level and open. They have the main cabin, the outdoor patio, a private room upstairs and seating along the balcony overlooking the central bar area. There must have been over 15+ TVs all huge. All in HD. It’s the sport’s bar of your dreams.

Service - Crap.

The service was pretty shoddy. REALLY shoddy. In fact, 25 minutes in with no one even coming to take a drink order or give us a menu, I was contemplating on leaving. Luckily, the manager made an effort. It’s not his fault his waiters are incompetent. He told the busboy to buss the shit out of those tables over there, put more paper towels in the bathroom AND told our waitress to take our order it one walkthrough. And he sincerely apologized for the wait which was nice.

Food - Generally crap with one highlight.

We ordered the calamari which was rubbery and the sauce was heavy. The fish and chips which was really fishy and cooked unevenly. One piece I had was awfully hard and chewy while another tasted fine. The redeeming food item was the mac and cheese. It was fantastic. Pasta shells, bacon, green onions and mushrooms = all my most favorite things in the world. Mmmm.

The drinks are delicious but I question how much liquor is in it cuz I drank two huge cup fulls of vodka lemonade and I didn’t feel a thing. :-/

I finally realized why it was OK for them to give us crappy service (or ignore us completely) when we got the bill and notice that they automatically tip themselves 20%. Mind you, we were a party of 3. Whatever.

Patrons - Be white, graduated from college 6 years ago but still secretly enjoy beer pong, fratty, loud - one or all of the above.

If you want to fit in, look like this. Nice uggs and silk shorts, babe.

Nothing against the bar itself but when your only redeeming value is your mac ‘n cheese. It’s not the greatest incentive for me to go. Besides, I don’t really like partaking in delusions and tool academy rejects believing that this is anything more than their version of a “matured” college frat scene. I’m ultimately not a bro. or a bro’s gf and I don’t wear clothes that used to be trendy in 1998. If it’s any help or gauge of audience, Brody Jenner and Jayde would LOVE it here. Heidi and Spencer would think these people are losers, Lauren Conrad would pretend to like it in a passive aggressive way and roll her eyes at the 1998 fashion rejects and Kristin Cavallari would love it cuz she’s like the female version of a bro. She, like, totally loves burping, beer and sports dude. Of course you do.
