Stormy's Tavern and Grille

This place rocks! A great third place close to home. We were actually headed to the Happ but noticed Stormy's when we parked. Upon walking in the place was packed, adults and families. Grabbed two seats at the bar. The wife orders a fat tire and I ordered a smithwick. Person brings me the smithwick and says the tap just ran out so I can have that one on the house. He gives me a sample of another beer on tap that he recommends and I get one of those too. I am not in this joint five minutes and already I'm digging it.
Plenty of sports on the TV this night, bulls, sox, cubs, hawks. A real interesting and lively mix of folks on a Friday night. Some guy has a hair helmut that I never quite get over. The best way to describe it is  darth vader helmut but gray.
For food we order the nachos and the parm garlic wings. Both do the trick and do not disappoint. Prices are reasonable, much more so than I expected given it's location.
Way to go Stormy's, we will be back.

I came here with a friend for some food and a drink after work on a Thursday. Oddly, I had trouble finding a parking spot (there's a lot in back of the place).

The inside looks kinda like a log cabin. Lots of paneled wood. Everywhere.

We walked in and weren't sure if we were supposed to seat ourselves. The bar was to the right and a restaurant-y seating area is to the left, in a separate room. We decided to just seat ourselves.

The waitress came over with menus and took our drink order fairly quickly. To start, we had potato chips with Parmesan cheese. Wow, I expected the chips to be sprinkled with the cheese, but this was like we had ordered nachos - just with Parmesan cheese. I will say that they give you a good amount, but it was so heavy and greasy that we could only eat a small portion of it.

Moving on to dinner, I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap that came with fries. The wrap was OK, but it was definitely lacking buffalo sauce. I thought there would be a lot of it, but there was barely a brunched on amount. My friend ordered a Ruben, which she says was pretty good. Each of us only ate half our dinner, taking the rest home for the next day's lunch.

Our waitress was really sweet and helpful, and was good about checking on us. We did stick around for a while, talking and catching up, and i never felt rushed to leave. It wasn't that busy when we arrived around 6, but by the time we left at 8:30, it was getting pretty packed with college-aged kids and families, which surprised me.

I would go back, but next time I think I'll try the pizza and steer clear of the sandwiches.

I've been thru the transition fro the sports dive bar Seuls where the meat eaters pizza included a rat topping I'm convinced... to newly christened Stormy's where more than the interior had been renovated. Still a great sports bar with plenty of flat screen TVs at best angles. Food? One thing I'm a connoisseur of is pizza- and Stormy's turns out one of the best pies on the North Shore. New owners- Pete's best known to me- work their butts off and check in with customers to make sure all's well. It's become my hangout of choice to watch sports, enjoy great pizza and service with my peeps on the North Shore.
