Sticks and Stones

Good bar food is easy to find, great bar food is worth the trip.  The cheeseburger is as good as it gets and for someone not fond of french fries, the waffle fries were outstanding.  The best part was I walked out of this place NOT smelling of cigaretts and smoke.  I didn't go right home and brush my teeth and guzzle mouthwash for an hour like I have at other neighborhood bars.  Lots of seating, friendly staff, games and pool, DJ and dancing on the weekends, party atmosphere and reasonable drink prices.  What more could you want to get you to make this a place to hang out?

I Love this Bar!

All in all, this little bar is not bad. I went a couple of weeks ago on what was supposed to be an outing with a bunch of friends from work, but because of the gigantic snowstorm we had in mid-march, only a few friends showed. That was still ok with me.

Upon walking in, it's a neat little place, the entrance leads into the bar and pool hall area which has lots of tables, all of which were packed when I arrived at 9 pm. I met up with my friends at the bar, which the wall behind the bar is plastered with real dollar bills with people's names on them, I didn't ask why it was or how that started. Had a few drinks, and noticed there was a downstairs "nightclub" type area which I believe had a dj, didn't really get to check it out though for fear I would make a complete drunken fool out of myself dancing in front of my work friends.

After a few drinks, my friend and I looked for an open pool table. When we found one, we picked up and moved to it, but the second we got to the table, some not so considerate bitches stole it right out from under us. Me not really feeling like getting into a brawl let it go. Not to mention later on that night an unruly dude got literally thrown out and banned from coming back.  

We headed back to the bar and all of a sudden, the bartender began ignoring us completely. I had cash in hand waiting on him, and was tipping him all night, and even though he didn't look like he was doing anything, I ended up having to go find a waitress in the pool area to get another drink. That was extremely irritating, I wasn't completely plastered and he had no reason to ignore me considering he was being tipped well from me all night. That was the straw that zapped their 5 star rating away from them.

In conclusion, they have good music, nice tables, and what looked like a nice dance area, but some of the people are not so nice or considerate at all. Also, if you go, my advice is to buy PITCHERS. So much cheaper than buying bottles all night and youll have to make it last if the testy bartender wants to ignore you.
