Exchange Bar & Grill

Nice spot.. Wings, pizza, and beer along with a nice view of the river.. I would consider $$ for two people

My experience here was a bit disappointing. My boyfriend and I stopped in for dinner before a movie and were thrilled to see the excellent view from the patio. Our server was friendly, but the service itself was slow, and there were only about two or three other tables seated at the time. The restaurant itself had such a strong odor of stale beer that it was very noticeable even from the fresh air on the patio. Nothing on the menu looked very appealing at the time, so we both ordered baskets of deep-fried miscellany, which is almost always a safe bet. After we ate, we planned to stick around and kill some time before the movie with a few beers, but the entertainment they had hired for the evening was unbearable. We might visit again, but it would be for the view, and nothing else. Come to think of it, I'm sure some other places on that street can give me the same view, and hopefully a better experience.

We were a little apprehensive about coming in here considering all the not so favorable reviews. But, we were desperately trying to just find a place with the game on before it was over so we gave it a shot.

First Impressions, a little dirty obviously more on the divey side of things. I don't mind this kind of atmosphere so I was unphased. Nice deck on the back overlooking the water and the whole place is entirely open. Even the windows in the front were much like saloon doors and were wide open. The weather was gorgeous and the breeze off the water was cool and refreshing.

Staff was nice enough to reluctantly put on tennis and provide us with quick service. A small mistake was made on my friends food, although, it was remedied. The food was alright, we had the sun dried tomato pesto pizza, at least I think so. A little heavy on the scallions for my liking but still pretty decent.

Towards the end of the game a guy set up on the small stage to play us some tunes. Considering we were the only one's there we got to reap the benefit and hear some of our favorites. If you read yelp, thanks for the entertainment Dave.

I'd say it was a nice laid back place to watch the game. And although I doubt I will be traveling that far again just to watch a game if I were to I would definitely stop back here.
