  Ok so I've been to this bar a billion times but never thought to review it until I decided to eat there on Friday night. I do know that in the past the staff is always poor to mediocre at best. We visited this time b/c we wanted to get a good seat at the bar for the Bruins game. The bartender was nice but she took forever to notice us and then in between drinks she was very slow.
  
  We ordered the fish and chips. It was good but the ranch cole slaw it came with was disgusting. Dripping with what I can only assume is hidden valley from a packet of powder. Don't get me wrong, I love a good ranch and coleslaw - but not together. This was just not a good coleslaw idea, period. Let alone when its dripping with gobs of sauce.
  
  Finally when the bruins game started the game kept cutting out since they have SATELLITE TV. We gave it a bit more time but just about 6 minutes of the 10 we had been watching had been cut out/frozen so we decided to leave. I felt bad for the bartender but then we get slapped with a $90 bill after having just one entree (we split the fish and chips b/c we weren't that hungry) and maybe 6 drinks total. Now I'm no stranger to expensive drinks and when made correctly I'll spend $15 on a martini. But I'm sorry - $8-$9 for a poorly made mixed drink in Milford at this place is soooo not worth it.
  
  Seems like whoever owns this place just totally doesn't care at all.

  The service here could NOT be worse. The bartenders act like they are doing you a favor bringing you a drink. Have tried this place a few times as I am a fan of live music and they have bands, but it's always the same experience. T
  he service is SO bad I will NEVER be back.
  What is management thinking? You make money the MORE you sell, not making people wait so long to get served that they eventually give up.

  My last experience at this "bar"
  
  Bartender: "What'll you have?"
  Me: "G and T."
  Bartender: "A what?!"
  Me: "A gin and tonic, please."
  Bartender: "Oh, yea. Um, we don't serve gin at this bar."
  
  They serve beer (Bud Light), wine (out of a box), and Jaggermeister. I saw a couple of women with what looked like mixed drinks, but the bartender really just brushed me away when I tried to find out what they were drinking.
  
  The only reason this place get's any star at all is that they occasionally have live music and there is no cover....but that bands are terrible. The one band I've seen there a few times plays hair-metal covers. If nothing else it's entertaining to see older people (think late 40s to 50s) dressing like bikers and awkwardly drunk dancing to Def Leopard's greatest hits.

  I think we had the same waitress as Dennis W.
  
  We met up with some friends on Saturday night.  They arrived before we did and had already ordered drinks, apps and their meals.  They had their drinks.  Waitress came by to get our drink order and she messed that up.  Hubby ordered Pepsi and I ordered iced tea.  She brought 2 Pepsi.  We told her to leave the extra Pepsi because someone would drink it.
  
  Gave her our meal order and waited.  And waited some more.  Thankfully, the company was great.  Finally our meals come out.  Hubby ordered a burger, which he enjoyed.  I ordered the Cuban with sweet potato fries.  Fries were really good.  Cuban was falling apart and I think it was just on white bread and the bottom piece of bread was soggy, although toasted.  My friend ordered a crispy chicken wrap and her chicken was grilled.  Her b/f had ordered the steak tips which he said were just alright.
  
  They then had to point out that they never got the wings that they'd ordered for an appetizer.  She went to look for them and then said they were given to someone else so they put in a new order.  We asked for napkins and she said she would get some.  We never did get them.  My friend's b/f finally got up himself to go find some.  He was the only one who got utensils too so I was joking that we'd better not make a mess because that was the only napkin at the table.  
  
  When she finally brings the wings out, she said that because of the mix up, we could get a free dessert.  Apparently that meant 1 dessert for the entire table.  My friends decided they didn't want anything so they offered it to us, so my husband ordered the cheesecake.  She comes back out and tells him that "they are having trouble cutting the cheesecake because it's frozen solid."  Um, ok, I don't think I want that.  So he orders apple crisp instead, which was nothing to write home about.  The apples weren't even fully cooked.
  
  Now, I must point out that every time she left our table and came back, we are talking at least 20 minutes of time passing between each visit and we didn't really see her at other tables.  We just didn't see her.  She brought the check and I timed it to see when she would come back for it thinking she would be quick at this.  Nope, over 15 minutes.  And she picks it up and says "do you need change?"  Had she opened it to glance, like most servers do, she would have seen it was a credit card.  
  
  We all decided that next time we meet up, we're going somewhere else.  I don't think we'll ever be back here.

  This is actually i think a part of pinz but still its a separate entity.
  
  had some time to kill while waiting for a lane so me and my buddy decided to eat here.
  
  ordered 2 dishes for a quick snack.
  
  the large of the boneless wings and the small double pepperoni pizza.
  
  typical bar food you would expect. but the charming lack of service was  slightly unexpected.
  
  the wings: came out kinda of late for a deep fry job mainly since i think it was just us and another table there. it came with 3 different sauces we ordered which was decent but came out half coated with large spots of just saucelessness also for our order....no blue cheese came out and we had to ask the waitress to get us some. in my book....wings always go with blue cheese...if you get celery and carrots  ....why would the blue cheese not come as well?
  
  Pizza:
  double pepperoni was more like 6 slices of pepperoni. pizza was doughy and very greasy. tasted like frozen pizza actually and i wouldn't be surprised if it was.
  
  food was a little sub par for bar food but i guess you shouldnt have high expectations for pub food...i guess i got spoiled by nyc bars.
