McFadden's Sports Saloon

We only stayed here a few minutes. The bar looked pretty cool, but it was jam packed. We grabbed a beer and then walked outside to enjoy the Power & Light District (which was very cool).

The Irish Nachos are sinful and delicious and filling and smile-inducing. The waitstaff appeared to be drunk and were fairly inattentive. So much faster to go to the bar yourself than to wait for someone to stop dancing or chatting and come over for drink orders. Hmmm.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I really hate P&L. that being said my girlfriend had a groupon for McFaddens so we ventured down there on a Friday evening. If you walk in from the "center" of P&L side there is no one there to greet you and we stood there for a good 3 minutes confused about whether we seat ourselves or what. The service was just OK, it wasn't very busy yet so there was no reason for her to be unattentive. I had to tell her my drink order 3 times before she got it right (I swear how hard is it to remember  three words: whiskey, diet, tall). I ordered a burger and asked for veggies instead of fries. She informed me that they had steamed veggies or sauteed spinach. Now, I love spinach so I opted for that. Before she walked away she said "now, you know that the spinach is cooked in a lot of butter so its not actually healthy, right?" I responded that yes, I did realize that it was sauteed. It was almost offensive in the way that she said it, like she assumed I am some fat-ass trying to loose weight by getting veggies (with my oh-so healthy burger topped with bacon and an egg) rather than a person who just prefers veggies to fries.

Ok, sorry I am getting off topic. Well, one more thing about the spinach. It was actually very tasty (and yes very oily and garlicky like I like it). Overall the food was pretty decent. I think that it is just the P&L attitude that grates on me. I think that once our server realized we were only there for dinner and 1 or 2 drinks (as opposed to setting up shop for the night) she became disinterested.
