Pub on Colfax

Ok, have been here under previous ownership, and even though this is not anywhere near where I live, my friend works down here, and we wanted to check it out.

Um, its RED now.  That's a difference.  There are also some upgrades on the inside.  Most noticeably, the TV's.  You can see them just about anywhere.  Probably good views all around for a game.  

Its Friday Night, and we get there just before 6... well, lucky us, because they have a Free Beer hour special from 6-7, where your first beer is on the house.  Free ='s always good, right :)  

Our Server.. super!! She was funny, super nice, and just made us feel welcome.  We even chatted with the owner for a minute about my friends Holiday Happy Hour coming up in December... seemed pretty cool too.  

So, some other things:  3 pinball machines, a few video games( PACMAN anyone?), 2 pool tables, a Foosball table.. just enough stuff (juke box) to keep you occupied... but JUST in case, JUST in case, you can go over to the Claw machine.. you know, the ones where you put some money in and try to get the prize?  This one is a bit different, because there are real live lobsters in there and if you catch it... they cook it!!  WOW.  Never saw that before!!

They have tons of specials from Taco Tuesday, to $20 all you can drink beers during Sunday football... you'd have to check it all out.  Every day happy hour from 3-7...

They have a pretty big menu with burgers, salads, wings, chili, you name it.  We weren't super hungry, but ordered some loaded pub chips... just perfect enough to compliment our beers :)

Friendly, laid back crowd. Super casual, fun times... seemed like an 'adult' crowd, most people in there 30's or so...  

Had a good time, will come back again to meet up friends in the area.

This used to be the Putt-n-Pub, which was a true dive.

They fixed it up a (very) little; the bar area is nicer. There's a juke and two pool tables and a nice crowd. Our waitress, by the way, was the bomb: very accommodating, funny, attentive. She recommended the jalapeno/cream cheese hamburger for my husband and it was really very good.  Juicy, cooked perfectly, great flavor. Not pre-made, frozen.

My patty melt, on the other hand, was well done when I'd asked for medium rare, and just plain terrible. My daughter's sliders were also overdone and bad tasting. She barely ate one out of three.

Most concerning, however, were the watered down double cran and vodkas I ordered. I could hardly taste the vodka and we all know I taste a lot of vodka. I should have been blitzed after two of those; instead I felt nothing. Poor show.

Still, this place has potential. I will be back to try more of their food and to have more reasonably priced drinks. I just hope they have actual booze in them this time, which is what I pay for when I buy a cocktail.

Priorities.
