The atmosphere was dingy, the service semi slow but reasonably friendly, the wings okay,, and location is excellent. Â We went for trivia I cannot say I care too much for the trivia guy's attempts at humor. Â By the end of the second round he became full on annoying. Â I guess he though exclaiming "Nein!" was funny. Â Stick to the trivia, keeping the mood light while canning the attempts at stand up comedy.
ETA: Â I went back next week and he was still doing the damn "Nein!" for the number nine. Â It kinda made me wish there was a storm trooper in the room to take him away. Â j/k!
Karaoke on Sunday night.. I actually had a pretty good time. Â Went there for a bday party Sunday night only because they had Karaoke. Â We really didn't eat anything but chips and spinach dip. Â It was good as chips and spinach dip could get I guess. Â
I was drinking rum and coke and my b/f drinking crown and ginger (wicked expensive). Â I think our drink bill alone was $80. Â And that was with the rum and coke being bogo. Â My last drink was nothing but soda, the waitress did blame it on the ice.. uh yeah not so much. Â A lush like myself knows when there is alcohol or not in a drink. lol! Â (i'm not really a lush) Â
I'd probably go back for the Karaoke if someone else was having a party. Â The host was pretty entertaining. Â I wasn't thrilled about the singing competition he was throwing. Â Everyone thinks they can seriously sing Adele or Celine Dion..
They do have pool tables and dart boards if singing isn't your thing.
This place is okay. I guess. While my truck was getting detailed I walked over planning to go to the Sushi place next door, but my heart was broken to see they weren't open for lunch, so I resulted going here. My Chicken sandwhich was okay, bland, but I cover everything in honey mustard so i was good. They have waffle fries, which I love, however, these were horrible. Talk about Freeze Dried. Pretty sure they went next door to publix to the frozen section and just stuck them into the oven. Â Service was slow, being 1 out of 3 tables occupied, I don't think there's a valid excuse for that.
It started to get busier for football, which I didn't care about, I noticed they have 25c wings on monday I think-so I may go there to check out the wings, but other than that I probably wont go back. Will update with wing review :D
Yesterday, my girlfriend and I took my son here so we could watch some football. Â Most importantly, watch the Giants play the Redskins. Â I've been to pretzels numerous times on football sunday, so I know what to expect.
Large crowds of Giants fans, slow service, and very rude/obnoxious locals. Â Living in the area for about 8 years now, Im a little embarrassed the way people conduct themselves in Pretzels, to be honest.
The pros: Â Obviously a dive bar place, so you can meet some familiar faces if you go on a routine basis. Location is decent with a gated patio area for smokers. Â Dart boards, pool tables and a few arcade games for kids or overly competitive man-kids. Â Drink specials and prices seem decent. Â Parking is ok, its in a publix lot so plenty of spaces. Cheap food. Â Sushi next door and close to a denny's (for that after the bar breakfast)
The cons: Â broken AC system. Â Felt 90 degrees! the ceiling fans dont work. if your AC is busted at least fix the ceiling fans. Â Starting to look a little run down. Â Ceiling tiles, seating, bar area, just looking a little weathered. Â The mens bathroom needs a complete remodel and someone could fix the hanging fixture from the ceiling. Â Cheap food, you get what you pay for. Â Obnoxious locals disrespecting the staff and getting away with it.
Look the tv says "team A vs team B" Â if you don't like it, find another tv or bar. Â but don't get mad at ME because I remind the staff about what their sign says when they're telling me the tv's are nonnegotiable. BUT, the staff bent the rules for a group of idiots. Â Way to put your foot down pretzels.
The place is severely under staffed during game days. Â Additionally, i've been there outside of football season and the waiting staff is slow. Â You need a small orange flag or something to get her attention. Â maybe a flare gun. Â
They need to turn on a few lights in the place, its a little too dark and makes the broken ceiling fixtures look even a little worse. Â Lighting around the bar would be helpful for the staff serving. Â I see they have a very hard time reading the tickets. Â Thats a problem when trying to keep up with tabs, charges, etc... Â
I want to like the place because its a Giants bar, but im sorry, the place needs some tlc and the staff should stand up to the obnoxious customers making them bend their own rules.
This place is a cool little secret in Winter Springs/Oviedo. The only reason I found this place is because I was supposed to meet a friend for football and wings and they are currently running a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Freferlocal.com&s=c3ec2ea08384c6e924ee41394f6ec9c15c2ee932cdab2aae125c1a0305a2baf6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://referlocal.com</a> website deal $20 for $10 bux so we bought two and decided to try it over Gators.
So i will say ive been here before at lunch and for beer only and it was good, cool atmosphere and its great for my non smoker friend because they don't allow smoking inside, one of the few local bars that prohibits it. Which is fine by me, they have a nice little outdoor section with a couple of tvs and its fenced in and somewhat closed off from the publix plaza traffic just for smokers who hate to miss a minute of the game while they puff.
The bartenders were attentive and helpful, we decided to play pool on one of the two tables, and jumped right into it. I guess there is not that much of a pool crowd there for lunch on a week day, but I assume thats a different story on any weekend.
We ordered the 10 wings and a pretzels poppers... the wings I ordered mine hot barbecue garlic, and my buddy got the same. The heat was nice and mildly intense, and the garlic was tasty, the flavor of the wings was fantastic and the size left nothing to be desired. These were amazingly huge drumettes were more like drumsticks and the wings were average size. The only thing I disliked was that by the time i got to my 10 wing the chicken had gotten cold and the breading or outside batter with the sauce got really thick and gooey, almost a cold mush on the outside of each peace, regardless they were decent up until this point.
They had some awesome 2 for 1 absolut drinks but they were out of almost every flavor. The server split up our tickets for us so each of had $20 on our tab and the two certs came in handy allowing us to just pay a decent size grat for the meal. All in all good experience. I will definitely be back and until it disappoints the rating will remain to be seen as a 4 star. thanks.
This review is for Tuesday's quarter wing night only, I've never been any other time! Â We love the wing's, I especially love the southwest spicy garlic (not very spicy but good flavor) with a basket of waffle fries and ranch dressing. Â It's a dive bar and it's of course pretty packed on Tuesday evenings, but the wings are good and it's the best deal in town! Â As far as football season goes, I'll stick with my old Wing Shack in Conway, THE Eagles bar in Orlando.
Review Source:The Giants fan in me wants to give this place more stars, but I don't think it'd be fair. They have cheap beer during games, mediocre bar food, and fairly attentive wait staff.
It's definitely a dive bar and did I mention also a Giant's bar?
Nothing really stands out, positive or negative.
The only "great" thing about this bar is it's location. Â And that's only because there really aren't any other bars in the area.
A lot of people go for Football Sundays...I used to go all the time...but the service kept getting worse...slow, wrong orders, cold food (at times).
As for the night life... it's a dive bar. Â Typical pool tables, darts, touch games. Â The drinks are cheap, it's a very casual place. Â Definately not a place you want to take a date. Â Or meet one.
This place is hilarious - it's a dive bar in a shopping center next to a Publix. They have pool, darts, the touch screen games (I'm a big fan of what I call "nudy touch") and cheap drinks. There is also a patio for the chain smokers. I've never had a bad time here. My only complaint is that the bar is shaped weirdly at the end, and it's next to impossible to get service down there. The service all around is where I would improve this place, but for a dive, I guess it could be worse!
