Black Market Bar

This is really a cool lil' joint. Love having options in Five Points. The night my boyfriend and I went we really had no expectations & just wanted something out of the normal restaurant. We walked in during the trivia hour and it was quite a lively atmosphere.

It was jammed packed when we got there and it stayed that way even two hours later when we left.  I can appreciate the late hours & I like knowing I can find decent food late (if I'm ever out REALLY late).  Anyway, the menu is a basic bar menu but with a few extras thrown in. I got the chicken nachos. They were tasty & had lots of good toppings but...I needed more cheese. It's not the melty velveeta/nacho cheese-cheese. Instead they sprinkled shredded cheese and melted it just a tad. Well of course shredded cheese doesn't always cover all of the chips, there wasn't a lot of it and it can be kinda dry. Anyway, next time I think I will ask if they have the nacho cheese-cheese.

My margarita was just ok...I suppose in a basic, really busy bar, beer, shots or something straight on the rocks might be your best option. All in all we had a good time listening to music in between trivia rounds and just trying to blend in with the young folks.  That night it was a younger crowd (mid to late 20's). I wouldn't mind trying it for lunch one day. Either way, I'll go back.

We were travelling from Virginia to Texas and this was a nice place near our hotel.  The appetizer sampler is a must!  The waiter was cool, very attentive and polite.  Our entrees were great also, no complaints.  We were here on a Saturday night around Christmas so it was pretty quiet for a bar...

Should be renamed to Meat Market. The backyard is nice though.
