Decent food, but nothing to write home about.  wait to be seated sign...waited close to ten minutes for someone.  No one came, so we found a waiter and sat ourselves. Waiter was nice enough, but when asked for recommendations he said "everything's good".  I don't believe this for a minute.  With better choices in the area, we probably will not be going  back
Review Source:If you want really slow service and food that is on par with a fast food joint this is the place for you.
I would get better service at the McDonalds up the street and chances are my food would be cooked correctly.
Wait staff doesn't know how to handle large groups. It typically takes about an 1.5 hours for a party of 10 to get in and out.
Two pinball machines are a plus, although one of them is tough to use if it is crowded. Â The food is good and there is usually some sort of drink special, for beer anyway. Â I avoid it when there is a cover, as I can go to plenty of bars for free. Â Still go there often enough if we are just looking for a quick drink, as it is close. Â The staff is very nice. Â All and all WAY above average for a hotel bar - which isn't really saying a lot.
Review Source:The only reason I ever go here is because My friend is a waitress. Say hi to Danielle when you stop in. The bands are mostly really bad blues cover bands and the TVs are piss poor. On the plus side it has bubble hockey!!! That's always a good time. Oh and heads up there's a $5 cover on the weekend to listen to sub par blues.
Review Source:Where's the love for a place that's started bringing in top-flight blues bands 52 weekends a year? The dance floor has been hoppin' Â the 9 or 10 times we've been there, so somebody is enjoying it. Drink specials are cheap, staff are friendly, and the food is passable.
The average age when we've been there is 40-50, so I can see this being less appealing to the younger crowd.
Four stars, based on five for the live music on weekend evenings and three for other times.
Allow me to reiterate what others who have come before me have proffered: this place is meh.
I showed up for Friday Happy Hour to check out a friend of mine's band. Â I was easily the youngest person there. Â Not even close. And I'm 32. I was excited when I found out I could get a 22oz Oberon for $4, but is it worth it when you're expecting to hear "B-37? B-37?" "Bingo!" the entire time?
And the sound in this place? Â Geez. Â It couldn't be worse for a live band. Its a low-ceiling sports bar, so all the sound just gets mulled together into one big blah, which is kind of the perfect metaphor for the bar on the whole.
I ate at this place three times because I was stuck staying at the Holiday Inn, which if I may add have the most horrible pillows and I couldn't sleep for 3 nights straight. Â Of the three times I ate here, only once was the food good and that was when I ate a salad at the bar for lunch. Â Bartender made some decent drinks too. Â
The other two times were for breakfast and they were horrible. Â The first time I was eating breakfast with my boss and he noticed that all the cups on the table when we were first sat down were compeltely filthy. So they changed them all out and we decided on what we wanted. Â I ordered hot tea with some vegetarian skillet type thing. Â They bring out your choice of tea bags which was nice along with a small pot of hot water. Â I already had drank one cup of tea before I noticed some -nasty- looking thing floating in the pot. Yuck. Â I also might add that you'll be hard pressed to find something on the menu besides fruit or pancakes that doesn't have some sort of potato item along with it. They're good but after awhile you get sick of them. Â I thought the skillet I ordered would have more vegetables than it did, mostly just chopped peppers and a few mushrooms and broccoli for good measure, oh and of course the huge mound of potatos. Â
The second time I ate breakfast there again, I decided to steer clear of their potato items so I ordered cinnamon french toast with cranberry juice. Â The food was okay but the cranberry juice the waitress brought out was watery. Â The waitress nonchalantly said oh you just got the last glass out of the machine. She did go get me another but if thats what that machine puts out they need a new one. Â The only other problem was that it took forever for the food to come out. Â I mean over 30 minutes. Â
Long story short, eat at the bar, look carefully at your glasses, plates, and silverware, and if you have to eat there for breakfast, get the buffet.
OK, so Guy Hollerin's isn't exactly hip or edgy. It's the bar and restaurant attached to a Holiday Inn, so it's not going to appeal to 20-something hipsters.
However, the few times I've gone there, the food has been decent to good, the drink specials are good, and there are free appetizers during happy hour. It's a good location for a Thursday or Friday night beer with co-workers, which is exactly why I went there.
If you're looking for cheap beer and free appetizers, check them out on a weekday between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. The times I went there, they were offering $1.75 pints of domestic or Canadian beer and free chicken wings or pizza slices.
If you want something more substantial from the menu, the "Macho Nachos" are good, as is the pasta dish they call "Guido's Veggie Primavera."
Note: The closing hours listed are for the kitchen only. The bar generally closes one hour after the kitchen does.
This place is really the lounge for the Holiday Inn. They advertise it as if it were a freestanding bar or club. Nothing wrong with that, but it can fool you if you walk in expecting the same kind of crowd you would see in one of the downtown pubs and clubs.
I met a friend for a beer at Guy Hollerin's because it was close to where he was working, but I've never been back, because it was sort of bland.
I got the sense that people go to the bar because they're trapped at the hotel and they have nothing to do.
Plus the music was way too loud. There's no need for music so loud you can't talk, when it's not even a live band.
Dude, this place sucks!
After much wheedling and cajoling by a female friend who wanted to check out the salsa dancing at this joint, I finally relented and went with her.
We get in and I am incensed: the patrons are old, unattractive, and uncool. I relate this to my friend, who shushes me and tells me "not to be negative." Whatever. She goes to dance, but is quickly fondled by some drunk old guys with bludging beer bellies lolling over their jean shorts, and is horrified. I tell her they should invest in some self-tanner, as their ring finger has an untanned circular area where their wedding band should be. She is horrified even more. I point out the next set of guys who'll approach her. "How do you know?," she asks. "Instinct," I tell her. I go to the bathroom and they do. I feel vindicated.
A roving band of cougars encircles my wagon. "How many of you are there? 3? 4? Oh wait, there's one in the back---5!? I'll take all of you on! Do you even know who I am!? I have the virility of a 20 year old! I don't even need wiener pills!"
Ahem.
In summary, this place is some dismal shit. I'm not even going to write about how terrible it was. I left totally depressed, and I wasn't even in here for more than 30 minutes! I will give this place one extra star as there is absolutely no way you'll get stabbed here.
