The Shannon Rose

I do ever so enjoy coming to this place, the great food, yummy booze and attentive staff and the awkward entertainment that's provided by the patrons, and wanna-be-club kids.

And mind you, I try not to judge and alls I want is a good time, but last night was just plain hilarious.

To make a long story short, shitty 90's remix club songs, with a dash of woman that dance like they haven't been out of the house since their 5th child :-D

But seriously, I do love the fact it's a sweet combo of restaurant, bar and club. And each section is separate from  what i just described. Anyone caught after 10pm in the dance hall, beware of the dancing girls!

It's a fun place, needs better music though, but I will totally be going back. Since I can't go to the Central Park club cuz everyone and their grandmother goes there.....literally.

Oh! Also! They hav a lot of events happening there, I plan to go to their craft beer tasting party.

I've been here a few times and while it seemed like a pretty solid place at first, I kind of feel like it's lost the initial appeal that would've warranted a 5-star review. The initial appeal being that it is a very beautifully decorated restaurant.

The food is okay - not bad, not good. The burgers are decent, actually. I've tried stuff off a couple of different sections of the menu and each time I wasn't really wow'd. Honestly, I really wasn't a fan of their Bangers 'n Mash. The sausages reminded me of breakfast sausage links. Not what you'd expect for the price.

The service is hit or miss. Sometimes you'll get a great server and/or hostess and sometimes not.

I decided to try one of their signature drinks when I was last there - a Red Velvet Cake Martini. I was definitely not a fan. It was kind of a weird, overpowering taste. It was way, way sweet and strong on alcohol at the same time. I gave it to my fiance to finish and even he had to push through it.

When I moved to the area a few years ago, I used to come here to watch the Jets games on Sundays. Honestly, I still think it's a good spot for that. The sliders aren't bad, they have wings and the beer is cold. I'm just going to find another spot for good drinks and dinner.

Probably one of the best fish and chip I've ever had!
