I'm a regular and this is my go-to spot so it's difficult for me to be unbiased. Â This is an Irish Pub with a pool table, dartboard and jukebox. Â
Drinks: Price is fair. Â Beers on Tap include Domestic, Domestic Light, Guinness, Stella, Blue Moon. Â Breedge pours the best Guinness in town. Â Nile will have you in stitches and is always approachable. Â Darren is the prototypical Pub Bartender; exactly what you want from a spot like this.
Food: Behind the bar and under an exhaust vent, you'll find Joe grilling and frying bar food. Â As far as i'm concerned, for Bar Food and for having limited tools to work with, Joe does a hell of a job. Â The menu is four pages long and full of variations on Burgers, Chicken Sandwiches and Fries. Â The fries are hand cut and he makes several different dipping sauces that are all tasty and well balanced. Â The pub fav. is the Irish Curry Fries, which you can smell from across the street when someone orders them. Â Bottom line: We get to Glen's (as it's referred to by frequent repeat visitors) we put in a good 6 hour shift easily. Â We're super grateful for Joe being there so that we can nosh on wings at 2AM.
Ah. Â Wings.
Kowalski Wing Challenge: You Will Not Win.
15 MINUTES. Â 20 HELL HOT WINGS.
No dipping sauce, No Beer, No Milk
Lots of Napkins.
If you complete this challenge, you will get a pair of Mets or Yankees tix, a t-shirt and your picture on the wall. Â The sauce used in this mix is 1,125,000 Scoville Units and is a cocktail of several Hot Sauces with Blair's After Death Sauce.
As of today, i'm the only one that is stupid enough to have won this challenge. Â Many have tried and failed. Â The current target is 14:13.

Decor: Flat Panel TV's on the top of the walls playing various sports of the day. Â The big game will always be on in addition to a Rugby match or Soccer from oversears behind the bar.
You don't come here for the decor. Â You come here to have good times with good friends and that's all I want from a neighborhood pub.
