Schooner's Bar and Grill

Schooners Bar & Grill on 6226 Bush River Road offers informal dining only a short walk away from beautiful Lake Murray.  While the moniker gives the impression of a nautical-themed establishment, Schooners is a sports bar with decent pub grub.  This is a great little place to watch a football game on one of several widescreen TVs, enjoy an inexpensive lunch or dinner, and partake of live entertainment.

Considering that the mission of Schooners is to promote a sense of social unity rather than epicurean excellence, the straightforward simplicity of the menu makes great sense.  Lots of conversation and friendly bantering drive the point home that this is the sort of place where the football culture thrives.  It's the laidback atmosphere you can rely on for a multisensory sports experience, tasty snacks, and plenty of beer on tap(....)

This was a nice surprise!

I had won a gift certificate to this place almost a year ago, and it was getting ready to expire.  So, we ended up here for dinner.

It's a no-frill place, but good.

Our dinner was fabulous!!  The portions were generous, and the prices were right.  We fed three adults for around $25.00.

I ordered the salad, and it was HUGE!!  Very good, and lots of toppings.  My date had the pork tenderloin sandwich and he said it was excellent!  My son had the hamburger steak with mushrooms and onions.  Everyone was very satisfied with their meals.

The waitress was very attentive and never let our glasses get empty.  We were invited to stay for trivia, held each Wednesday at 8:00 or 8:30, start time depending on how many people where there at the time.  

We will definitely return, and next time we'll stay for trivia so we can win gift certificates!!

Try it, you'll like it!!
