Sports Venue Bar & Grill

The food here is always amazing with a million different things and food that tastes homemade. I always get the blue buffalo chicken quesadilla (sp??) But I have tried others that are also amazing like their Cajun chicken pasta. The waitstaff is also super friendly.

We started going here when some friends invited us to the trivia. The food is pretty darn good and mostly scratch made. The beer is cold, and they have a pretty decent selection of all the major stuff. The servers are friendly.

On our way to and from Alberts on the Alley (what can I say, Ken likes their stupid mini deep fried burrito app... not to mention the hot waitstaff) we noticed this bar with a completely full parking lot.  Finally we stopped in, and I was pleasantly surprised.

This is the kind of bar where, before the smoking ban, you'd probably have to burn your clothes after leaving....and then shower twice  Now, the grizzled patrons remain (smoking just outside the door), plus some rowdy youngsters.

Pool tables, darts, video poker and TVs abound.  Waitstaff is much more competent than the AA girls, without the tight tank tops and calf warmers (cuz you know their calves are probably freezing at AA, right?)

Every time we've been to Sports Venue they have drink and food specials going.  Good ones too.  Their tap and bottle beer list is good enough for me.  The food menu includes a variety of apps (including potato chips covered in nacho toppings, cheese balls and some pretty tasty wings), pizzas and calzones, sandwiches and main entrees.  All the food we've tried has been tasty (the burger has been my least favorite item, and it still ranked about a 3).

They're still taking the <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.restaurant.com&s=8cac03c1efb29efee41b3411fe3b107de69265557b5804295adb319e7abd90ce" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.restaurant.com</a> certificates, if you have one rattling around in your junk drawer.
