Five-O-One Sports Bar & Grill

A weekend night looking for a steak but settling for a burger  brought me to Five-O-One.

Five-O-One is a nice sports bar, but I'm not certain what it's really trying to be.  There's lots of room, but a lot of wasted space and that space wasn't filled with pool tables or the like.  Very odd.

I stopped by in the early evening one weekend night.  There were about 7 or 8 people sitting around the bar and they gradually dwindled down to 4 -- about enough for each customer to have a TV all to him or herself.  About that time it occurred to me that maybe they'd just opened and were still finding their niche.  There were lots of Halloween decorations so the staff obviously know how to have fun.

The menu has pretty standard bar food and I picked one of the burger options.  I'm glad I did.  The burger was big  and cooked perfectly.  It was one of those where two hands doesn't quite handle it and with all the toppings, I needed to break it apart to get a bite-size portion.  The fried pickle chips were a nice touch.  

The service was slow, but friendly.  The bartender came around just enough to keep the beer in the glass cold and not be annoying with the interruptions.
