The Lodge Beer & Growler Bar

We must have come on an off night. We had no service whatsoever, sat at two different tables and the bar and no one offered to get us drinks or anything. We waited 20 minutes before leaving. Incredibly disappointing as my husband was eager to try some craft beers. Bummer, won't be back.

Beware. This one is going to burn! Went out on a Sunday night for Lodge Bar. Reviews sounded great. Good reputation in Barmuda Triangle. Looking forward to the different bar food and beer selection. Couldn't have been more of a disappointment.

It was around 7 and busy but we were prepared for a wait. Content to sit outside and drink until a table was ready. My sister and I walked in to find there was no hostess, no stand, no one even looking like they wanted to help you. I snagged a waitress. She apologized for no hostess and then said they didn't have a pager system. They would yell out your name, 45 minutes. Okay. Not a deal breaker.

Went back outside to join the guys. They went in and came out within 10 minutes with the first round of drinks. We sat contently until the guys went back for round two. And we waited...and waited. My sister goes in to check after about 20 minutes and says the table is ready. The guys had never even gotten to order the 2nd round. We hurry to our table.

Now, to be clear we said it was 4 adults and a high chair. (We couldn't foist my niece off on the grandparents for every meal and she's good in public. She's been to bars before.) We had a big booth and the high chair. Only problem? Booths are raised up about 4 inches or so. So, my little niece is eye level with the table. Clearly this isn't going to work. We sit for about 10 minutes when no server has come around. The booth behind us has been waiting longer and they get up and leave. When we realize that there is NO ONE working the floor and the 3 bartenders are failing to manage the bar that is 2-3 people deep, we walk out.

Unacceptable. As my facebook status said, as we were leaving...abysmal. We left and went to Marley's down the street and got great service.

Interesting place. The decor is kind of rough. They have a bar, booths, and tables with stools in the back near the pool tables and shuffleboard. We came on Monday night for the $3 craft beer specials. They have a pretty extensive list of craft beers. The menu is pretty basic. We ordered the caprese grilled cheeses and a bavarian pretezel. The pretzel was really good. I liked the grilled cheeses too. This place is not fancy. Its a good place to get a beer and a burger/sandwich with no frills.
