Cementos

Cemento's seemed old-school to me.  There are no frills added to presentation to make you believe in getting more than what's being billed.  And what's being billed is moderately priced drinks and beers, above average pizza and a dark pub or bar.  That's Cemento's for me.  Now, I was there on a Friday night with a "LIVE" band playing and the place was packed cheek-to-cheek (below the waist).  I hadn't been in a setting as chaotic and difficult to get a cocktail in a while.  Because it was crowded the air inside was stifling.  Go outside to the "smoker's area" and it was cool but cloudy, if you catch my drift.  Pizza - it was pepperoni and cheese and it was gooey good.  The crown on the rocks was a good pour.   I'd like to try the place again without the crowd just to see if Cemento's is what I think it is.  And that is a place for locals to get their schwerve on drinking booze and sitting around listening to a jukebox.  Local hang-out with adequate food - not much in the form of ambiance.

My wife and I had a coupon from the Val-pak, so we stopped by and ordered the penne with meatballs. Service was prompt and the drinks were in our price range, but I found the marinara sauce rather sour. We are looking to go back to see if it was just a fluke in the near future.
