Lincoln Park Grill

It was my buddy's 30th birthday last night. And in true tradition a number of his dearest pals decided to surprise him at his old college bar. Fordham. Yeah. Go Rams. I never went there. But most of my friends have. The bar kind of dips underground from the street. It's pretty big and spacious. Dining tables and booths in the back. I've heard stories about how people once found piss in a bucket or something in the bathrooms way back in the day when pbr was a dollar here. So that doesn't happen anymore. But pbr is still cheap. It's $3 all day/every day and not just during happy hour. And if I must, I must, but bud and bud lite are included in that deal as well as along with $10 pitchers of all of the above. Happy Hour specials are $4 wells/wines 5pm-7pm. Their whiskey isn't that bad. Vodka not great. Gin - Acceptable.

If I haven't sold you yet on how amazing their midtown deal is then their happy hour food is ridiculously cheap as well. It's bar food but shockingly decent tasting bar food. Wings, Nachos and cheese pizza are all only $6. They also come in a pretty huge portion size and are great for a group. The nachos are loaded down with jalapenos, real cheese (not cheese wiz), ground beef/beans, and have sour cream/salsa on the side for those that are picky eaters. The cheese pizza is a very thin crisp crust with a really tantalizingly rich layer of cheese. Wings I only took a bite out of one that was garlic buffalo sauce. It's not spicy at all but the garlic adds an interesting element. Oh! And they also sell 'wee burgers' (their name for sliders) and they are excitingly only $1 a burger with a side of fries. And if you're already drunk, it shouldn't matter what any of this tastes like.

I also hear that they do a $20 unlimited mimosa, screwdriver, and bloody marry brunch that none of us had any idea about until now. I will most definitely be back for that. Vanilla Bean French Toast with strawberry compote?! Smoked salmon scramble with a side of potatoes? Where in the hell am I? This is amazing. Super fantastic delicious.

Often my group of people come after volleyball. Good beer prices, decent food. Nothing super exciting. Service seems above average.

Lincoln Park Grill (LPG) is a decent place to grab a cheap lunch and a couple drinks. Period. There is nothing else good about this place.

I go here with a few colleagues from time to time to grab some food and shoot the breeze. The food is decent and cheap, the services is always par, but the place is kind of a dungeon.

I never knew this was a big Fordham bar until I read the Yelp reviews, but it now all seems to make sense.

Trust me. Grab some food on the cheap and leave.
