The Sinking Ship

How do they get the hamburgers to be so dry ?

Love this place! We stumbled across it early Friday evening after the first three bars we stopped at were standing room only. My friends were looking for microbrews and what a pleasant surprise to find so many good ones on tap for a place that sells $2 cans of PBR. Our server, Cameron, was a fun guy and very polite and attentive. Loved the tater tots, nachos, and burger we shared. We're not  hipsters and are 50+ years of age but felt right at home at The Ship. This place has personality and we will definitely be back! What a find!

I have wanted to go here for nearly two years and no one would go with me. It was either, "too divey' or "too smokey".  Tonight was their 2nd year anniversary.  A friend who lived in the area was interested in going and I, being a downtown resident, happened to be in the area for a doctor's appointment.  Plus, they were tapping my favorite brewery's keg at 7pm...Flat 12.  Added bonus.  

I walked in and immediately loved the place.  Very clean, very non-divey and also very hipster.  This was the kind of place I need to go to once in a while and LOVE.  I felt welcomed and I felt very much in my element (even dressed in business attire....a place is either welcoming or not, regardless of the "dress code", right?).  

Their  beer selection was great.  The glasses (or even mason jars) they served the beer in were great.  Mondays are also 1/2 priced burger night.....so we got the blue cheese burger and the portabella mushroom burger.  All burgers are stuffed with the ingredients, so the blue cheese, etc was on the inside.  Super delish!!!  They claim to give your burgers 30 minute to cook, but we maybe only waited 20 minutes??  

In summary, the food and beer were amazing.  To be specific....while eating our food, we consistently said, "Oh wow....oh wow....this is SO good!  We need to come back here every Monday!!"  Seriously, try the burgers if you go.  They are SO good and those star shaped tater tots are among the best tater tots you will ever have.  I promise!!
