The BWWs in C-ville has made some wonderfully welcome strides. The bar manager there has taken it upon himself to gather a respectable collection of local craft brews on tap, including (currently) Flat 12's excellent Half-Cycle IPA. This gives it, by far, the best beer selection in Montgomery County, and that alone might make it the best bar in town ... if only it was walking distance from, well, anything.
The one lamentable aspect of the beer selection, however, is that you still have to do a fair bit of work just to take advantage of it. The servers are woefully and persistently ignorant of the offerings -- and even if you know what they have, and even if you know that they have it, and even if you order it by name (yes, really!), there's still a decent chance that you won't get it.
Allow me to explain: Say, for example, that you want "Upland Brewing Company's Dragonfly IPA". Don't ask if they have any "IPAs" ... your server will say that they don't. Don't ask if they have anything from "Upland Brewing Company" ... the answer to that is "no" as well. The same goes if you ask for anything "local", anything "made in Indiana", or even "anything good". Basically, if you don't say the magic word, "Dragonfly", you won't get it.
And even that depends on the server. You see, each server seems to have her very own 'cheat sheet' in her order book. Thus, if your server knows the beer as "Upland" rather than as "Dragonfly", the secret password is "Upland" ... but again, only for that individual server -- who, incidentally, wouldn't likely know if the "Upland" they have is the "IPA" or the "wheat". You see, "IPA" might refer to Flat 12's Half-Cycle ... or it might even refer to the Sierra Nevada, since, after all, it has the words "Pale Ale" in it.
So, to make a long story short, if you want to get the good beer that the management has worked so hard to acquire, tell your server you need a minute and walk up to the bar yourself.
Despite these recent improvements to the beer selection -- and the servers' ignorance of this, notwithstanding -- there's still enough corporate hellishness to make BWWs a source of serious concern for our future. The good management at B-dubs must be shackled with countless corporate regulations, from the server's obligatory "Welcome to B-dubs/We sell Pepsi products"-welcome, to the menu itself, which is so littered with insets and cutouts and inviting pictures of placed-products and icons and logos of its corporate partners that it can be hard to figure out what they actually have. Even the beer selection is tightly controlled by what Corporate and its distributor-partner allows, meaning that the admirable craft beers can be hard to find among the throngs of tasteless and characterless wheats and lagers from the more-familiar, nationwide brands.
But maybe the most intense cacophony arises from the constant audiovisual stimulation that greets you from absolutely every corner of this cavernous space. There are more TVs and screens in front of you, around you, above you, even ON YOUR TABLE, that it can be hard to find the food.
Yes, B-dubs has managed to acquire some quality stuff. But you have to work hard to find it.
One of two places you can go to enjoy watching televised games while having good food and alcohol. This is one of the smallest Bdubs I've ever been to but Crawfordsville is a small town. They have the biggest entertainment setup but it all comes at price. Big game coming up? Better get there early or you'll be hard pressed to get a seat, especially for the bar area. Service is so-so, but they get the job done; although, if you see the place packed expect 20 mins for you food to show. Â The food is decent, and I wouldnt go anywhere else for wings in Cville. And I do hate to say it but they do have the largest selection of beers on tap in town; however, the prices for said beers are a little steep. Be prepared to pay $20+ for your meal and drinks.
Review Source:The food was good, but the service at the Cravfordsville IN store was absolutely horrible. Â The first visit, our waitress spent more time flirting with two rednecks at a nearby table and outside smoking then she ever spent checking on our table. Â The second visit was only slightly better. Â Too many other places to visit and eat than to put up with crap like this, get rid of the bums and hire people who want to work.
Review Source:Well, the past three people that have rated this business haven't been there for a while. Where do you go when you want wings? B-Dubs? The place is ALWAYS packed on Thursday. Great atmosphere for games! Price you can't beat for those yummy little boneless with honey bbq! And Ethan, honey, if you want a beer from a microbrew, you shouldn't have moved to Crawfordsville. :P
Review Source:So i went there over Thanksgiving weekend and they were out of ICE. And they had been out for a while. WTF kind of 3rd rate cheap crap is that? They are right across the street from a Walmart, how about having a host drive over and BUY some ice so they aren't serving warm sodas and water? Pathetic.
