    Stopped here for appetizers and drinks after work. Great location in the middle of Crocker Park. I liked the food, good atmosphere, and friendly service.

    I am confirming this place as a 4-star establishment based on the group event we had there this evening. The service was good and friendly, the ambiance was pleasant, and the appetizers we all had were delicious. In particular I liked the chorizo and potato flatbread and the calamari. But best of all was the great company of my good co-workers, friends and newbie Yelpers!

    Met up with a few of my Yelper co-workers to give this place a try.

    I was a bit skeptical as I wasn't sure I was classy or ritzy enough to be at happy hour here but I was pleasantly surprised as the atmosphere wasn't as uptight as I envisioned.  It was actually very comfortable, cozy and intimate especially with the fireplace, my type of place -the darker the better.  We ordered a few apps which we all shared inducing the calamari, cheese fondu, chipotle egg roles, flat bread pizzas, and hummus and they were all excellent.  Our server, Chris was very pleasant and provided great service.  Overall, I'd give this place. 3.5 and I'd definitely go back.

    I've been to this wine bar twice in the past two weeks. The first time, I made it for happy hour where they have $4 glasses of house wine and $4 small bits (hummus, guacamole, spicy spring rolls, flatbread, olives, cheese, and pommes frites). The pommes frites (french fries) were some of my all-time favorite.  They were cooked perfectly and served with a yummy sauce on the side.  The hummus was good, nothing to write home about. The spicy chicken egg rolls were very good and the sweet and sour sauce that came with them was very good!

    The second time, I went for trivia on a Tuesday night...so much fun!! We split a bottle of wine with our group and shared one of the chocolate mousse desserts; very good!

    I love the atmosphere here.  They have a large stone fireplace and being here makes you feel like you are in a cabin in the woods.  I definitely recommend trying their trivia for something fun to do on a Tuesday night.

    I received a gift card for 87 West 2 for Christmas, and I was skeptical because it's a wine bar in the middle of Crocker Park. So in normal Kristen fashion, I dragged my boyfriend there for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised! They have $4 pours of wine from 2-6 during the week, the pours are very generous! I stuck with a pinot and have no complaints, they also offer a happy hour food menu, but I consider it to be very lacking compared to other happy hours around. Although, their pomme frites struck my fancy! Happy hour portions are small but the malt vinegar aioli that came with the frites were to die for.

    We also tried to the calamari which was decent, but not memorable. But I would like to pull your attention to the lobster nachos! Get these!! $15 for a decent plate of nachos doused in a lobster cream sauce with huge chunks of lobster and hand mashed guacamole. So rich, so worth it!!

    I would go back to 87 West 2, but probably only for happy hour!

    Kept hearing things about this wine bar in Crocker Park, so decided to take my girlfriend out and finally check this place out!  We were both pleasantly surprised by this place.  The wines were great and the service was awesome.  Our server Hannah (assuming that is the correct spelling) was pleasant and was very attentive, she suggested a wine from Chile that was extraordinary.  The food was excellent, we ordered some light snack type foods.  Needless to say we will be coming back again really soon.  The place looks like it may get busy, be patient an wait for a seat to open up, trust me it will be well worth the wait!

    This place makes me feel like I'm on vacation.  

    From the warm, toasty fire roaring and the flame-colored light fixtures hanging from the ceiling, it just exudes coziness.  Add to that the warm hues of wine and mixed drinks as they "chin-chin" in customers' hands, and you've got a great setting for a night out.  This is a place for sharing, and nothing tastes better than their appetizers and plates meant for passing around the table while you're here with friends.  

    Visit during this time of year and you can't help but be caught up in the festive atmosphere of Crocker Park during the holidays.  Christmas lights span the streets and the Christmas tree in the roundabout makes me look over my shoulder and make sure the Polar Express isn't about to stop here with a load of kiddos happy to see Santa.  

    I'll be returning here, hopefully with both old and new friends in tow so we can all enjoy the vacation from reality that 87 West in Crocker Park affords!

    A-OK indeed!
    I love that there's a cute independent restaurant in the heart of Crocker. It was a nice place to swing by for small plates and a glass o' vino.

    The atmosphere is very loungey and chic, and the service behaves accordingly (i.e., if you're not the loungey type, don't eat at a lounge). The menu was small plates/tapas-style, and therefore lends itself to budget dining, if that's what you want.

    We had the cheese fondue for our meal and the choco fondue for dessert. Portions were a  little stingey to say the least, but was okay for the price.

    It's a cute place to swing by to slow down during Xmas shopping, but nothing that knocked my socks off. Maybe we'll be back to try another small plate this holiday season.

    Perfect place to drink your sorrows away after spending way  too much money at DSW across the street.
    I love the atmosphere of the place  and the fact that a slice of cucumber is floating in my water - very refreshing! (makes me feel like such a sophisticated grown-up!).
    However the service of the place usually fluctuates from average to terrible, they know almost nothing about the wines they serve and they shamelessly dilute cocktails during happy hour.
    Other than that I really dig this new urban breed - wine bar/coffee shop.

    Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Knowledgeable. Have come in here many times and have tried many things on the menu as well as different menu items. Have never been disappointed. The flatbreads are really good. The cheesecake is good. The cheese and dessert fondues are good. not excellent. but good. Nice spot for relaxing, chatting, having some snacks and wine.

    87 West has a great atmosphere, awesome drink menu that changes seasonally and tremendous service! Donn was our server! He was knowledgable about the wine, liquor menu and the food menu! I highly reccomend the chicken salad sliders!
    This place does not allow children or babies, which is nice for an adult evening out! Fun place for a date or a night out with friends!

    One word...SNOOOOOTTYYY!!! Walked in there to take a break from shopping with my Fiance and didn't like the vibe there at all! The waiter had this air about him as if he was doing us a favor. I went to order a mimosa and just asked the size because I looked over at another table and saw these over sized drinks and was curious.  They advertise how wonderful and special their mimosas are and how they have like 20 different kinds.  He looked at me like I was an idiot and kinda laughed at me and said: They're like normal size, like a glass of champagne. So I ordered  a white sangria instead... it tasted like he poured a glass of ice water with a shot of white wine and added a cherry and orange slice to it. Wasn't impressed....it's a shame because it's a really pretty place at a good location.

    I've only been once, but they had me at cheesy bacon tots. The wine selection was great and the atmosphere was chic yet comfy. With nice couches and plush pillows everywhere. Definitely a date night spot. (hint hint ;)

    I wanted to get one last glass of wine before leaving to go home for the night with my boyfriend. So when I saw the wine bar by the Apple store, it was a no-brainer. Walking in, I saw a sign instructing us to seat ourselves. The decor was really nice, dim lighting with high wooden ceilings. It was relaxing and cozy and I was super excited to snag a couch in the far corner of the room. We sat down and our waitress, a girl with long straight dark hair, came to give us our menus, she asked if we saw a checkbook lying around the couch or tables and we all took a quick look around and couldn't find anything. She left so we could peruse the menu. Since I just wanted a drink, I picked one out fairly quickly. My boyfriend doesn't drink so he was quite happy with the surprisingly delicious cucumber water.

    When our waitress came back, I ordered my drink. She had this expression on her face that made me feel uncomfortable, as if she was annoyed with me for only ordering a drink and nothing else. I have a pet peeve about that sort of thing, and seeing that the restaurant was not crowded in the least bit- there were several empty tables- it wasn't like I was "stealing" a table from a potential big spender who'd would have to give her a big tip. So already, my visit had an awkward start.

    Feeling unnerved, I felt like I had to order something to appease our waitress so I ordered some Old School Tots when she came back with my drink. I wasn't hungry in the least bit and was in no mood to order a $10 appetizer so yes, I ordered the lowest priced vegetarian option I could find. She gave me the same annoyed expression and this time, my boyfriend noticed there was some subtle hostility. Then, a couple other waiters and I think, the general manager, came back over to us three separate times trying to find the missing check book. At one point, my boyfriend was on the floor using a flashlight on his iPhone to help look, and no one apologized for disrupting our night. I felt bad about the missing check book, we had not seen it at all during our entire visit, but the lack of communication between all the servers was seriously getting on our nerves by then. At one point, I had wondered if they thought that WE had taken the check book.

    Not surprisingly, our waitress had completely forgotten to bring us our appetizer. The whole night, we could clearly see her over by the kitchen chatting with one of the guys behind the kitchen counter and ignoring us. By the time she finally came over to ask us if "everything was okay," it had been 30 minutes, my wine was nearly gone and I had given up on the tots. We just asked for the check only to be kept waiting for another 20 minutes. Finally, she came close to our table to clean up someone else's table and my boyfriend had to call across to her for the check a second time. We wasted no time paying and getting the heck out of there.

    I was very disappointed because the wine bar seemed like it had a lot of potential. I know the main problem was the service, so I do plan on coming back another time and giving it another chance with a different server.

    This is my fav happy hour spot.  Happy hour all day Sunday!!!  I hope to do the food/wine pairing one day.  I like the tuna/avocado salad, calamari and the chorizo flat bread.

    Tonight, we went to 87 West for their 5 course food/wine pairing and it was amazingly delicious along with being a great deal.

    The 5 courses were as follows:

    1. Ahi Tuna with eel sauce and scallions on crispy chip paired with a sparkling riesling.

    This was delicious. If it had been a snack on a party platter, I would've finished the whole platter by myself! The raw tuna tasted very fresh with the scallions and the eel sauce gave it sweetness that went great with the crispiness of the chip.

    2. Butternut squash bisque with granny smith apple paired with a chardonnay.

    My favorite dish of the night. It was sweet with a slight nutmeg taste to it and it just tasted delicious. I enjoyed every bite of savory goodness.

    3. Porchetta and potatoes with gorgonzola cheese paired with a combo red.

    The fatty meat with the crispy skin was delicious, although more toward the center, the meat was dry. The potatoes were also awesome especially with the melt in your mouth cheese.

    4. Stuffed shells with a meat sauce and spinach paired with a cabernet savignon.

    This is was probably my least favorite dish of the night but it was still tasty. The red meat sauce had some spiciness to it that made it all the better, but compared to the other dishes, I felt it needed work.

    5. Chocolate tart with black pepper (Yes! black pepper!) ice cream paired with a port.

    This dessert was something different and in a good way. The chocolate tart had a dark chocolate cream/ganache on top with a crunchy chocolate cookie on the bottom. The black pepper ice cream was pretty much regular vanilla with pepper/salt sprinked over it which actually went over quite well.

    All of this came for $35 a person! I know this isn't the normal menu, but I asked the server if this chef was the regular and he told me it was, so if that is the case, I would DEFINITELY come back to try what else he has to offer. Wonderful dinner and quite the deal too.

    This place is kind of like Crocker Park itself -- it's mostly overpriced and I always feel a bit embarrassed to be there, but it's pretty nice and I always find myself back there at some point. Their happy hour specials are reasonable, and the food is decent. It's a nice way to while away some time before a movie or while waiting on somebody. Not a destination, but not an unpleasant place to be either.

    I was super excited to go here because I love Crocker Park and wine bars, I went for one happy hour and once after a movie and had two completely different experiences.

    The happy hour food menu is definitely lacking. Compared to their regular menu which is full of great options, it's just boring. The food is cold and lacks imagination that you see in the regular menu. The service was super slow and not attentive at all.

    When I went after the movie it was great. Good service, constantly bringing us more wine and suggesting wines to try and the food menu is fun and delicious.

    It's a cool atmosphere and has tons of potential.

    It's too bad they can't get their happy hour together.

    Went here recently with some friends from high school on a warm Thursday evening around 9:30pm and it was PACKED...must have been the movie in the park but it was ridiculous!

    The waitress did not understand us and she seemed really out of it, plus she didn't even separate out checks. I really like the idea of this place and I am always excited for it, but then when I get there, it's just not a great time.

    This is my all time favorite place in Cleveland to get a drink. It is so sexy and definitely swanky! Food is great, especially the tapas. Love the wine and cocktails, some of the best in town. Outdoor patio with heat lamps is awesome. I definitely recommend coming here! Classy and hip place. You won't find any drunk fools here like you see in the warehouse district.

    Stopped in here early on a Saturday evening after seeing a matinee.  A bit of an odd location (right in the middle of the street at Crocker Park), but that seemed to lend well to the feeling of the place.  With a group of 4, although crowded, we were easily able to rearrange some comfy chairs and tables to accommodate our group.  We all agreed it had somewhat of a comfy ski lodge feel, but looked as if it could convert to a great airy space in the summer, with huge windows that slide open and an attached patio.  We opted to do the wine tasting choice, where you load up a card with $ and then help yourself to different prices of 2 ounce pours of red or white (between $3.75 - $12.50 per pour, deducted from your card).  We also ordered 4 small and large plates to share: spinach & crab dip, chorizo sliders, calamari and pulled pork nachos.  Although everything here is on the pricey side, all of the food was delicious!  These 4 appetizers were the perfect amount of "dinner" for the 4 of us to share after binging on popcorn at a movie.  The service was great; everyone there was very friendly, accommodating and aware.  Our server in particular was very good and had a great attitude.  He helped set us up with the wine tasting and checked back just enough that we did not feel bothered but could find him easily if needed.  Overall, it was a great experience; the only downside being the pricing - but I guess that's to be expected at Crocker Park!  I will definitely go back for a cozy evening with friends or a significant other.

    Update 6/4/12:
    Recently went back with a girl friend for an afternoon glass of wine after a manicure across the street at Anthony Vince. There was a new menu, and the wine tasting machine was no longer available. However, everything was just as delicious as the first time, and Saturday's 12-4pm happy hour was very affordable! The beef sliders came with thin and crunchy onion straws, the tater tots were perfectly seasoned and salty, and the flat bread of the day was some of the best I've had. Furthermore, since we were the only ones in the place, the cute server was very attentive and friendly :-) I highly recommend a relaxing Saturday afternoon spent here enjoying time with friends.

    Stopped in for a glass of wine with a colleague. Nice place, we were able to put our feet up. Man, o'man, do I like putting my feet up! As fancy and nice as the place looks and feels, when you have your feet up all is good and comfy. The big fireplace added to the warmth of the place.

    I didn't eat there, but my friend swears the food is quite tasty. I know the wine was....

    I wasn't too terribly impressed with this place.  The inside is classy yet comfortable, and even when every table is full, the noise-level remains moderate enough to enjoy conversation with your companions.  Based on atmosphere alone, 87 West is worth visiting.  However, I found the wine selection to be lacking.  When I go to a wine bar, I expect to be nearly overwhelmed by the number of choices.  Here, I was rather underwhelmed.  In my search for a sweet white wine, I was left empty-handed.  I asked our waitress for her opinion, and agreed to her selection, only to find that my wine was not sweet at all.  I wasted $7 on a tiny glass of wine I didn't even enjoy.  My boyfriend fared better in his search for a spicy red wine, but was none too pleased that it was $9 for the two-ounce pour.

    I found the martini selection to be more appealing, but sadly overpriced at nearly $10 each.  At that price point, I'd much rather go to the VTR for a martini of superior quality.

    They did have three martini specials at $5 each, but when I attempted to order one, the waitress informed me they were all out.  Really?  Then maybe you should take it off your specials list.

    Hey Hollywood!  Yep that's the feeling I got when I sat down and ordered a very delicious sparkling wine.  This place is super cute, super affordable, and the perfect place to meet your significant other (no worries about them not being a booze hound like you)

    Seriously I am in love with 87 West, the fun of trying different wines, getting cucumber water (yummo!), and enjoying some fun small plates makes for a great evening!

    Maybe it's just me, but I got a definite older middle-age meat-market vibe from this place, that brought to mind tales of Westlake's Viagra Triangle.

    That's not to say it was awful, just sort of strange.  I take that back, this is exactly what I would expect a wine bar at Crocker Park to be like.  The decor comes off as trying a little to hard to be hip which makes it feel a little inauthentic.  The international symbol heiroglyphs on the wall were perplexing, and the squat stools to sit on across from the sofa-booths around the edges of the room were a little awkward and uncomfortable.  

    On the positive side of things, the service was very friendly and attentive.  Empty plates were cleared promptly and our glasses were rarely low or empty for long despite it being a somewhat busy friday night.

    The place isn't set up for heavy duty dining, so I can understand the emphasis on small plates.  That being said, of the several dishes tried at our table(s) all were good, but none seemed to distinguish themselves as special.  Couple this with most items being on the pricy side for what they are and the food was a little bit of a let down.  

    I don't drink, so I can't speak to that element of 87 West 2, and as it's a framed as a wine bar it's entirely possible that I missed out on the best they have to offer.  I would not be upset if I wound up here again, but I don't know that I would go out of my way to make it back.  I'd also like to give them props for their monthly foodie nights done in collaboration with the Culinary Vegetable Institute.

    popped into 87 west for a drink around 11. our waitress promptly greeted us with cucumber waters (fancy!) and we ordered a few glasses of wine plus a beer. prices were a little on the steep side. a few minutes later, complementary pumpkin pudding spoons came out from the kitchen. another nice touch. sadly, we didn't get to stay long since last call was about 10 minutes after we arrived.

    as for the space itself, it felt cramped, instead of cozy. they're trying to pull off a high end wine bar look and feel, but the tables and chairs looked cheap. besides the furniture, the rest of the restaurant felt like it was having an identity crisis. they had a fireplace and a modern chandelier, but the back wall was covered with weird, distracting art - a bunch of huge, plastic symbols (one being a no smoking sign.) didn't seem to fit in with everything else that was going on.

    i liked where 87 west was going; they just didn't make it there for me.

    Everytime I come to Ohio, I always make a stop at 87 West 2. The drinks change every season. They have a great food menu that changes too. The atmosphere is cozy and sophisticated. You won't find any college kids taking shots here, which is a plus.

    I like this place for their happy hour specials. It is a fun spot to meet up with the girls before or after running errands.

    It is definitely cozy, and I have seen several people there on what appear to be dates. The room is more lounge-like than dining room so it offers great people watching. My friends and I liked to speculate on the conversation topics and relationship dynamics of the couples. I am 100% sure we witnessed at least one bad <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmatch.com&s=5a7ad17eb3943c81dac85ae79b9c0c050694769f0de09ef7d94e7ed56fd99c4f" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://match.com</a> first date.

    It's winter.  Time for snuggling up with the one you love and enjoying the quiet pleasures of the season.  And it's cold, so the snuggling thing works on that level, as well.  87 W 2 is a nice place to keep warm and .. well yeah.. snuggle.  That is the word for the day.

    THE ATMOSPHERE:  Modern Chalet.  The soaring space is done up in a relaxing mix of medium woods, soothing browns and ambers.  The interesting chandeliers and the fireplace give the place a warm, earthy, cozy glow.  There are couches and banquettes for snuggling accompanied by a few unwieldy little tables. Snuggly!

    THE WINE:  Buy a specal debit card, slip it into R-2 V-no, select a wine, receive a 2oz. tasting.  OK, I get it-- try new wines.  But darlings, at least TRY to have an interesting selection.  Most of the wines in R-2 were dull and unimpressive  and rather pricey for a 2oz pour.  Lots of boring single note merlots.  A wimpy French melange with absolutely no body.  A very young Spanish that was nowhere near ready to drink. People were oohing and ahhing over the Opus One at $12 a pour for the mere fact that it was $12 a pour.

    It was fun trying new wines that I would ordinarily pass by when buying by the bottle BUT the sommelier should try to inform, enlighten and challenge.  People who try this system are looking for new experiences, not little sips of disappointing little dinner wines.

    THE FOOD:  Innovative and fun.  The wines should be this interesting.  The calamari were tender and encrusted in panko breadcrumbs.  The stand out was the sauce-- a chili infused vinegar that cut through the fried preparation and added a lot of interest.   The lobster nachos were tasty-- if a bit drenched in the lemon aoili.  There were giant heaps of lobster claw meat nestled (snuggled!) throughout.  The cheese plate was good but a bit silly-- they put the cheese on the crackers for you.  The standard selection of brie, bleue, smoked cheddar and gouda was accompanied by a mango cherry chutney and some lovely spiced nuts.  

    THE SERVICE:  Our waitress was very helpful, informed and pleasant.  She really anticipated and met all our needs-- and left us alone later to snuggle a bit  and enjoy our wines.  Very intuative.

    twas a few nights before christmas, and all through my hood
    not a creature was stirring, and i was feeling good
    with my cats comfy cozy, and my phone energy zapped
    i had just settled down for a long winter's nap

    ...that is until a friend from the neighborhood called me soon after and said he'd be at my house in five minutes to come take me out for "F#&% It Night".

    layer upon layer, i bundled myself up to face the arctic chill accosting the land of cleve, and headed out, brave-faced and sober with a bubbling pre-christmas excitement buzz only experienced that few magical days before christmas.

    we headed here to meet friends, amidst the jolly holiday shoppers and land of giving souls.  with general empathy for all men, we shared the holiday cheer all the while merging into an unforeseen lane at crocker park in search of 87 west.  the jolly shopper in the car to the right and a bit back of us shared her holiday cheer through loving hand gestures and what i can only assume were christmas carols sung by a choir of one.  with such energy and exaggeration exemplified through her facial expressions and movements behind the wheel, i can only assume she, above all, was filled with the christmas spirit.

    as we fended off more holiday cheer for only a few brief moments, we finally arrived at 87 west.  cracka park sure knows how to create moments filled with holiday zest.  in case you're wondering, don't park on the south side of the cracka if you're headed to this wine bar.  and don't ask random holiday passers by if they know where we can find a good drink in front of dick's.  

    but fyi, 87 west is in front of dick's. sporting goods.

    once inside, i have to say 87 west does the holiday right.  white christmas lights abounding, and an all glass wall to observe the holiday hustle and bustle while sitting by the fire and drinking a glass of wine with friends is the way to relax.  even when more patrons added to the holiday relaxation retreat, the place never seemed crowded.  

    they offer a decent menu of affordable wines, appetizers (vietnamese calamari?  hmmm....), flat bread pizzas, fondues, and desserts.  i'll get back to that in a moment.

    but back to my premise:  each holiday season, the other friends we had met for the evening were experiencing their holiday tradition:  F&#% It Night.  one night each holiday season they interrupt the insanity of holiday shopping, gatherings, penny pinching, and spreading the holiday cheer like the plague to treat themselves to a dinner and night out. when normal behavior would illicit a "no, i can't, can't afford it"- instead it is "yes, i will indulge, thank you."  they had previously been down the way to blake's seafood for lobster tails, and night capped with a few glasses of wine here.  

    we met up with them a few glasses in.  a bottle of wine later, the perfect end to an imperfect day seemed to be the pumpkin cheesecake.  it's description on the menu tantalizing, graham cracker crust and creamy pumpkin goodness seemed to call to me like what i can only assume were from the woman from the cut off car's angelic voice could have done.

    our server, who seemed very kind, and apologetic, returned to the table to let me know the pumpkin cheesecake was no more.   so much for F#$% It Night.  but then, the holiday reared it's beautiful face in the time of giving.  the chef prepared an order of chocolate fondue for us instead.

    WHAT???  CHOCOLATE?  

    sir, allow me to hug you and spread my holiday cheer to you as well.  don't worry, there's an ointment for that.

    the chocolate fondue, more than double the value and amount of food than the original order, was DELICIOUS.  blackberries, apples, graham crackers with melted marshmallow, nilla wafers, and pretzels accompany the gooey heaven of chocolate warming the plate.  we devoured it like vultures on a newly killed piece of flesh.

    too graphic?  sorry.  it was effin good.

    87 West may not have won over many yelpers hearts yet, but the chef gets a hug from me for his holiday gift of love in the form of chocolate.  

    yes, it's that easy.

    it was as if the chef could have been the man in red, himself.

    He wasn't  chubby or plump, but a tattooed jolly  elf,
    And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
    A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
    Soon gave us food to devour and pounds to shed;
    He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
    And filled up out bellies; then turned with a jerk,
    And laying his finger aside of his nose, (health code decision pending)
    And giving a nod, to the back of the kitchen he vanished;
    He must have sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
    And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
    But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
    "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight."

    So, the idea of a wine tasting bar sounded pretty cool and the atmosphere is incredible - California Winecountry  meets the Pacific Northwest.

    Sadly, I was more than disappointed. Our waiter left a little to be desired, forgetting what we ordered and giving us incorrect checks.

    The wine tasting bar was the biggest disappointment. The idea is to use a card system to dispense 2oz. glasses of various wines, giving you a larger variety of wines to try.

    Of the 12 or so red wines, there 6 Cabs, 3 Pinots and a few odds and ends... with no Merlots at all. Each wine tasted watered down and ultimately were poor in flavor and quality.

    The clientele seemed to be drinking more beer and cocktails than anything else and I was one of maybe a handful of people using the tasting machine.

    High marks for atmosphere and concept, but the execution was severely lacking.
