Cronins Bar & Grill

Excellent staff, great drinks, generous portions on the food....Karaoke on Friday night is awesome!

Cronin's is definitely an "a-ok" sports bar.

I was there on a Monday night, Groupon in hand, ready to partake in some $2.00 draws.  The bartender was friendly and had the drinks out quickly.  

The food is the usual bar and grill fare.  I ordered the BLT with tots.  The food took quite awhile to come out from the kitchen.  I figured it would be worth the wait, right?  Kind of.  The tots could have been fried long for sure and some were downright cold.  My BLT was on the smaller side and was average.

Cronin's does have a lot of TV's, a couple of pool tables and plenty of seating.  From the looks of their website, they have daily food and drink specials. I could see coming back to watch a game or two and skipping the tots.

Disclaimer: This review is only about drinks. I have not tried to food here. I know it's crazy to review a place on only drinks when it's called "BAR and Grill" (at least fellow Yelp reviewers tend to make it seem so), but deal with it.

The drinks are poured well - not too strong, not too weak, but just right. The staff are friendly enough, though not necessarily the quickest. The Guinness is poured pretty much correctly, but not completely so (which is a shame for a place that touts itself as Irish). The taste of said Guinness isn't the best, though. It seems like the kinda place that sells a lot of beer, but not a lot of good beer, if you catch my drift.

The atmosphere is laid back and relaxed - your typical strip mall place. Nothing fancy, but friendly customers and an easy going environment. I'd stop back if I were in the area, but I wouldn't find myself going out of my way to get here.
