North Point Bar & Grill

I also bought a Groupon and didn't make it past the parking lot. I can't speak on either the food or service but when I go out for lunch or dinner, I don't want to be nervous nor apprehensive about a place.  A dive doesn't have to look sketchy, dirty and completely unappealing.  And as my friend said - I don't care how much the groupon is for I'm not going in!

I went to this place too because I had also gotten the Groupon Deal. When I saw what the place looked like, I was a bit disappointed.
I should have read reviews before going, because I didn't realize there was smoking allowed. As a nonsmoker, it made me miserable, but my date was happy. Smoking, pool tables, and strong, cheap drinks. He loved it!
He enjoyed his bleu cheese burger (a recommendation by our waiter/bartender) and I ordered the Big Willy. However, due to an error at some point between me, the waiter, and the cook, I received a "Philly" instead. I decided just to have it, since it looked pretty good anyway. After having about half of it, the waiter stopped by to see how we were doing. I mentioned the error, and he offered to get me the correct sandwich, but I just stuck with the Philly. He did fix the bill so I didn't get charged for the other, more expensive sandwich though.
After reading Rusty's review of the Big Willy Sub, I wish I had just asked for the replacement.  Either way, the subs and burgers are made on fresh made bread baked in-house. So even though I don't love Philly cheese steak, I did like the bread.
The waffle fries were delicious, but it's hard to go wrong on those.

Overall, the service was great, the food was ok depending on what you order (or get), but the place is pretty much a dive. If you want to smoke indoors while you play a round of pool or sing karaoke, this is the place to go.
Probably not the best place for a nice date though.

Last week I went to the North Point Bar & Grill for the first time. I was recommended by a friend of mine who told me that they would be having beer pong and cheap pitchers on Wednesday night. When I walked in, the bar was relatively full with a good amount of people.  Robert, the bartender was very friendly and helpful. He introduced himself and took care of me right away. I was there a bit before beer pong began, and he made sure the table was clean, that my ash tray was empty even though I'm not a smoker (smoking is permitted in this bar), and brought over a candle.  Drinks were tasty and the prices won't break the bank. I also had a good time playing and watching beer pong. The host was energetic, the crowd was lively, and it felt very communal. The owner Will also introduced himself to me.  Even if you aren't in the mood to play games (they also have darts and pool tables available) there is enough seating at the rail or surrounding tables to hang out with friends or grab a bite to eat. Although I didn't try the food, the menu seemed to have a variety of traditional American eats and bar food favorites.  Being a vodka drinker, I'll have to go check out Ladies night to take advantage of cheap drinks with my girls one night. I'm also curious to find out some more info about their "Neon" NYE event.
