Aftershock Sports Bar & Grill

Aftershock isn't a terrible place...if you have your expectations set.  It's a common watering hole for the businesses around, because, well, it's convenient.  If there were a few others around vying for that business, I can't say that it'd be doing as well as it does.

1) It's smoky.  Normally, I'd completely avoid such a place, but on this occasion, I was talked into attendance by co-workers...none of which are smokers.  But Aftershock (or The Mesh Tank Top as we've affectionately called it, because that's the kind of attire you'd expect from such a bar.) has become something of a running joke.

2) It gets crowded, and it seems to be a surprise to the owner/staff.  No, I can't imagine that a bar would normally be prepared for an onslaught of patrons at 1PM on the Friday before Christmas, but I would think, having been at its location for quite some time, that they'd be a little more prepared for those employed around the area to head out of work a little early before break.  It's a tradition.  I don't think this is secret.

So we had a great time, but I'd say that's due almost entirely to the company.  My clothes reeked, and we had to fight to flag down an obviously busy waitress ("I'm sorry.  We're really busy.  If you can't flag me down, go to the bar for another drink.").  Alas, tradition will continue, and I doubt Aftershock will suffer much from my opinions.

plenty of beer on tap, food was good, & looks like could be a good place to have a good time. we were their on a weekend afternoon & nothing was going on.

What no review of aftershocks! This place is er...a fair locale to grab a bucket of beer ( actually they have an oddly good selection of vodkas...) and some eats. The beer is cold and eats are good and all reasonably priced! Just stick with this thought "you don't shop for caviar at the flea market" and you will not be disappointed!
