Benchwarmer's Sports Pub & Eatery

I agree with the comic book guy who posted before me.

As far as suburban dive bars go, Benchwarmer's is... well, a dive. The atmosphere isn't much to write home about, and it is most definitely a sports bar. It is full of middle aged people whining about sports, and their wives, as is to be expected from a crappy bar.

It is also one of those watering holes where you can't actually get a decent beer. The first time I was there, the only things they had on tap were MGD, Miller Lite, Budweiser, Bud Lite, and one good beer, Blue Moon, which DID NOT WORK. Yuck. I can drink Miller if I have to, but when I go to a bar I expect there to be a decent beer. I'm not paying draft prices for what is basically headache inducing water with alcohol content.

For some reason, I came back a few months later when I was at the nearby Stand-up Comics (a comic book store), and it was much the same thing. This time, though, they had at least added Sam Adams Oktoberfest, which, although not great, is a heck of a lot better than the swill they were also offering. I didn't bother trying the food, and it is quite unlikely I will. It's just not my scene, and not worth it.
