Co-BRH's Sports Lounge

After a day of judging wines, we stopped for the famous wings at co-br h's .  One dozen wings took 1-1/2 hours to get.  We could not believe it, then when we did get to eat them they were all dried out.
Never again.  I'll go up the mountain for wings any day.

First thing is first.  The wings are freaking great.

Hot crisp skin, with completely rendered fat below.  The meaty wings were mostly super juicy and toothsome.  Hot sauce was a great balance of flavor and heat, it coated the wings beautifully and has left its perfume on my fingers all day.

Ideally I would have liked a better mix of drumettes to flats.  The plate of 12 was dominated by drumettes, which to some would be heaven.

But here's the thing: It's sketchier than I thought.

Now I'm no prude who needs linen napkins to feel at home.  I've eaten in my fair share of dirty dives that are openly hostile to interlopers.  But there is no two ways about this, Co 'BRH''s (pronounced Cobras) is a ramshackle bar that smells like urinal cakes or possibly some other industrial cleaning solvent.

It's dark inside, and there are people doing some serious drinking at lunchtime.  Pitchers of Captain Morgan and Coke are only $6.50.  You can get your drink on here without blowing a lot of cash.

And the place is clearly an institution.  Beer mugs and pint glasses line the walls and hang from the rafters, personalized with the nicknames of patrons.  I was clearly an interloper.  And while I didn't find it hostile, my visit didn't find the good folks as friendly as when Keith F. made the pilgrimage.

I tried to fit in.  I ordered a beer.  It felt like a Yuengling kind of joint.  I was wrong.  The woman behind the bar had a note of disdain in her voice when she explained they only had it in bottles.  Sh*t.  So much for fitting in.

Anyhow, if you are in the area, this is a truly great place to go for wings.  I just wouldn't bring your kids.  Or your girlfriend.

Cobrh's wings are the best available in a four or five county area. Only the original wings from Buffalo can compare. And I'm not saying which are better. Let's leave it a tie for now.

First impressions may lead you to believe it is a run down and worn out business.

But order in - and stay for your wings. This place has a friendly local following. Everyone seems to know everyone else, but they welcome newcomers.

Order your wings and drinks and by the time you finish your first one you'll be served up the best wings you've ever tasted.

You'll look around and tell the person next to you these are the best wings you've ever had, before you know it you've made three new friends.

The wings are crispy, dry, perfectly cooked and seasoned with the most amazing buffalo sauce you've ever had. I couldn't get enough of them.

An easy place to find, just two or three turns off of I99.                  Enjoy
