Vintage Tavern

a rip off palace.  I asked the bartender if there were any beer specials.  
She said no and then recommended an Allagash White.  I had two beers and when the bill came it was $16.  Eight bucks a beer...after I asked if there were any specials!!!!  
This is like some Saigon dive bar where the bar girls order champagne and you end up getting rolled.  
Avoid at all costs.

I won't be able to review the food here, because...well...I've never actually had the food here.

The only thing I ever get here are drinks!
For your Friday night outing, this place is a fantastic hang-out, neighborhood bar, "where everybody knows your name" type of place.

The set up is very simple: bar to your left, booths to your right.  I've only ever sat in one of the booths, when I wasn't able to stand up straight anymore :)

The bartenders here are great! Brad always manages to keep a great atmosphere in the bar!

Overall, I think this is more of a bar that happens to serve food.  You have to be 21 to get in, so yes you can smoke indoors.

I guess I can see the appeal of this place if you live nearby.  It seems as if it would be a decent enough neighborhood bar given the lack of better options in the area.  But as someone just stopping by to grab some lunch because I was in the area, I can't say that I am a fan.

I walked in and seated myself at the bar.  The first thing I noticed was the overpowering smell of cigarette smoke.  Why does any restaurant still allow indoor smoking?  Ridiculous.  The place is small and pretty dark, but not overly so.  

The waitress came over and took my drink order relatively quickly.  She wasn't overly friendly (actually she barely said anything at all), but provided sufficient service.  It seemed as if she was really the only one working on this particular day, so kudos to her for providing prompt service.

I ordered the cajun burger, but could barely detect any of the cajun seasoning.  The reason that I ordered this was because the menu advertised that it came with "fried onions".  When I hear "fried onions", my brain immediately thinks of those French's crispy things that everyone's grandmother puts on top of green bean casserole.  What came on my burger was not "fried onions".  I'd more accurately classify them as "barely sauteed onions".  Disappointing.  I ordered the sweet potato fries as my side and they were probably the best part of the meal.  They had the perfect amount of sweetness and were finished with course salt - just the way I like them.

If I were in the area again, this definitely wouldn't be my first choice.
