Oskar Blues

Come here for the beer and live music, definitely not for the food. I've tried this place a few times really hoping things would change. Unfortunately they have not. It's really puzzling how this place gets anything but a negative review for the food. Plain and simple: the food's just lousy.

I really want to like this place. Honestly, I do, but every time we're going there for dinner I wish we were going somewhere else.

The beer here is great, though the waitstaff hardly ever knows what to recommend or how to answer any questions based around it.

Music is usually worth going for, but don't come here if you're looking to have an actual conversation with the people you came with, it's very loud at all times.

The food is decent -The BBQ options smoked in house are the best way to go-, but the service is (more often than not) just beyond terrible. I try to make it a point to only visit places with bad service if the food is stellar.

Here's a little list of varied "service" we've received:
- Had an 8 person group, were told we couldn't even sit down until our waiter came in (they weren't scheduled to work for another 15 minutes)
- After the Bolder Boulder, everyone in our group ordering beer got carded, including the people obviously over 40, which was strange, but...ok...sure. One woman in our party had just lost her ID that day at the race, and was consequently denied a beer. She's in her 40s and looks it.
- On at least a couple occasions we've been ignored for over 10-15 minutes.
- Appetizers for a group of 7 came without plates. When we asked for plates they brought two. When we asked for a plate for everyone the guy was surprised, and still shorted us a plate.
- Drink refills for the entire table have been neglected multiple times (in cases of water and tea, even until the end of the meal)

Those are the main ones I remember at the moment, I'll add more in later. It's truly almost EVERY visit, it's a miracle to get decent service at this place.

TL;DR:
Beer: Great, but don't expect to have any questions answered about it
Music: Fun! Loud!
Food: Order BBQ options, the rest is decent
Service: Laughable

Nice place, pretty decent food, good beer selection.
