Steel House Tavern

Well, I did see pictures of this place before I dined...and all we came for was to eat .  We all had wings and burgers, which for what we expected, were great.  I had the "Donimator", my son had the Chili & Queso, wife had 12 pineapple curry wings (fried & naked - the chef obliged) and my daughter had the Southwestern burger.  Aside from the drinkers at the bar and their many f-bombs whizzing by, this was a good experience.  I thought to myself, "don't they see my kids right here"...BUT, I also said "this IS a bar..."

Went with a group of friends on a Saturday night. First, this place is sandwiched in between a rent-to-own store and a Burlington Coat Factory off of Warwick. And that should be enough to tell you 99% of what you need to know about this place.

You walk in and first thing you see is loads of pool tables. So imagine my surprise when they charged my husband and I $5 cover each. For what??? I really hate the bar scene here.

Anyway, I digress. Next on to have my purse searched and my husband wanded (are you starting to get a feel for the place now?) and into the main bar area which I was disgusted/distressed/disgusted to learn still allows indoor smoking. *gag* Left that night with my hair, clothes and purse all reeking of smoke. Gross gross gross.

Bar has an ok set up: left side has pool tables/ample lighting with a wall separating it from the actual bar/dance floor. Large tables with stools on a floor SO sticky, I had to shift my balance every 30 seconds to keep from becoming glued to it. I'm seriously not exaggerating, this poor was disgusting. Also since it is concrete and they apparently don't bother with repairs, there are actually mini potholes in the floor that can easily cause a fall.

Bartenders are the worst. We waited a minimum of 10 minutes each time and were served by a different bartender each time which meant no one ever learned what we were ordering or whose tab to put it on. Each round (2 rum and cokes served in the cheapest of plastic cups, mind you) came out to a whopping $14, which I thought was insane for a place like this. Additional complaint about the bar, they are completely inept at keeping track of who's next and we got overlooked nearly every time even though we were right in the front.

DJ Kudlz was spinning that night and he was alright. Played a mix of new hip hop (including crowd faves like the wobble), some old school and some top 40. He did do a weird 10 minute slow jam which prompted a lot of dry humping on the dance floor. After the first 2 songs of that 1) ww were ready for something more upbeat and 2) we were starting to feel a little weirded out by all the "sexy" moves we were forced to watch.

Will not be going back, even though I have a gift certificate to dine there, and would not recommend to anyone.

Stay away the bathroom is full of coke heads!
