The Glenrowan Sportsbar & Grill

So I decided to go to The Glenrowan after a recommendation by my mom's boyfriend. I went in on a Thursday night to watch the Knicks game. Decent crowd for around 9 pm. The bartender was an older gentleman whom everyone seemed to know by first name---awesome guy too as he was very helpful. I think everyone who works here has an Irish accent.

Anyways, I got a couple of beers (I think about $4) and then decided to get the beer-battered chicken tenders. I know people say they are good for their burgers, but I wanted to try something else. I don't think the bartender heard me say crispy fries, but outside of that, that was my only complaint. I have never had such light and crispy chicken before. The batter, which I am used to breaded chicken, had enough crispiness to it except for one or two pieces. Again, I'm sure if you ask for it crispier, it would be perfect. That with some nice thick fries and a cold beer made for a great evening. Well the Knicks being up by a lot sure does help too!

Well, well, well. I haven't been to Tara's in over 10 years, but ever since they changed their name and the outside decor, that parking lot is always packed!

So tonight I bartered: Babysitting for a Burger. The idea worked!

The girls ordered takeout and brought me a Cheeseburger Deluxe with Steak Fries. Although the fries were soggy and wet from the trapped heat, the burger was HUGE, juicy, and totally hit the spot.

Now bring me the kid. My energy level is up, and I'm ready to be Babysitter Extrordinairre!

Awesome burgers and fries.  Soups are always great. Ribs, chicken fingers and scallops are also favorites.
One of my favorite places in the neighborhood.
