Even without the great events in the Backroom, Longshots impressed me from the first time I sat down at the bar for a few pints. I was personally impressed with their outstanding selection of craft beer, not many places in the area can offer things like Troegs and Victory from the draught. That alone won them a lot of cool points in my book. The atmosphere will definitely please the sports fan but doesn't pander, and not being a big sports guy myself - still felt very comfortable. The staff was ultra accommodating and friendly, I didn't have to wait more than a few seconds before my pint was refilled. This place is a definitely a shining gem in the area and I know that I'll be back again soon.
Review Source:Sadly this place has gone downhill and is no better than the rest of the bars around, average and ordinary. Â Some of the best service staff are no longer there, its not a surprise with the quality on the way down. Â Last time I was there I had an empty beer mug sitting waiting for a refill for about 25 minutes and they were not even busy, not acceptable. I shouldnt have to lean over the bar and yell hey to get a beer refill.
They used to have a great tuesday night special menu with quality burgers with many toppings, steaks, etc. Â The menu has been trimmed down to basicly nothing of value, and the portions and quality have gone down as well. Â Why am I out at a bar paying for a cheeseburger which i could make myself at home, when it doesnt even extend to the end of the bun and is about as thick as a premade frozen shoprite patty?? Â
Heres a tip management, you dont get more money by charging more for less.
