My husband and I planned a group outing here for our small group. We planned on dinner @ 7 and Trivia (Monday) at 8.
We got there and it wasn't too busy - some interesting looking people at the bar. They didn't have Pliney in bottles like previous reviewers had said so my husband was pretty bummed about that. The bartender was nice and worked quickly.
When our friends arrived it all went downhill. They started playing music that was way too loud. We ordered some food, which you have to go up to the bar for and it is not convenient at all.
The food service was AWFUL. Food from the same order came out 15 minutes apart. Mine was cold and tasted like it had been microwaved.
One of our friends waited almost an hour for food.
One couple in our group actually left after her husbands food came out ( a burger) and her food NEVER came (all it was was a salad) - they couldn't wait any longer and were very hungry.
Everyone agreed that the food was just "ok". Nothing remarkable at all. Definitely frozen to microwave status.
After all of that we stayed for 1 hour of trivia which was fun - not worth the drive out into the sketchy neighborhood and crappy service.
Beer. Â
Nice people.
Photo booth.
Pool tables.
STAR WARS!!!
Yes, I am a fangirl and I can stand toe to toe with you and debate Han and Greedo's draw speeds, why the VHS versions are better than the DVD versions, why there was more than one Death Star, what happened to the rest of the Empire's fleet after ROTJ, and why we should all be horribly upset at how Kashyyyk was rendered in Episode 3...
Fangirl-iosity aside, this place has several things going for it -
*It's very open, so when there is a larger crowd you don't feel like a sardine.
*The patrons are great! Sure, people have a lot to drink sometimes, but I've yet to feel scared, irritated or intimidated. Â
*There's a photo booth wherein you can take a strip of silly pictures, and even post them on Facebook! Â
*Themed nights ranging from LOTR to new movie releases, where raffle prizes are given out. Â Karaoke is everywhere in the area, but if you come during a weeknight, there's a lot of other fun stuff happening. Â
*The bar staff is friendly! That includes the owners, Paul and Marya. They remember names, and are very warm and welcoming. I've only been there a few times, but every time I have gone, I felt warm and fuzzy - before I had a beer!
The Star Wars paraphernalia is just the icing on the cake.  YAY! - during awkward silences,  I can stare lustfully at the model of the X-Wing, or remember playing with action figures stored in a Darth Vader bust like the one on the wall, or admire the fan art of Princess Leia, and while waiting for the bathroom, stare at the limited edition  Revenge of the Jedi poster. Â
But despite all of the geek eye-candy, Â even if it was just another sports bar, I'd come here for the people and relaxed atmosphere.
