The Wedge

Nice people but they can't figure out their identity you never know when they will close and reopen

I do not recommend that anyone go to this establishment. Last year, a friend and I stopped in for a quick drink and a bite to eat on a Th night and there was hardly anyone in there. My tab was 13.25 including tip and the amt I signed for. Well, I noticed on my bank statement a week later that they had charged me 133.25. I called the bar and the bartender told me to come in on a Tuesday to see the manager so she could correct the bill. I waited until Tuesday to go and wouldn't you know the same bartender to screwed up my bill and told me to drop by on Tuesday called someone on a cell phone and then told me that whoops the manager just stepped out and I would need to come back. Well at this point I was furious, and had to go to my bank and get the charge disputed through them, filled out paperwork and my bank had to then call this place to get my money back.

Suffice it to say that I will never go back there, and I don't know why anyone would. I hope this place closes, if it isn't already. It does horrible horrible and shady business.

This should be three stars, but the extra one goes out to the staff at The Wedge, who were some of the friendliest, genuine bar employees I've met in a very long time.

Drinks are South-City Cheap (yay!) and they exhibit a nice selection of beer and liquor. Guinness is on tap so that makes me happy, too.

The atmosphere is nothing like the surrounding neighborhood; and I would describe it as "lazy punk rock"... It 's a good thing! I visited their second floor for a show and was stunned to see a very crisp, clean bar area, complete with a small stage, video projection system and this ginormous red Mad Hatter-like couch that I will steal if I can find a backpack large enough.

It's small and smoky so that might be an issue.

Downstairs is a little more open, with a few hi-def tv's and a Big Buck Hunter video game machine. Nice!

Apparently they're connected to (or own) a BBQ pit that offers a brisket and sweet potato fries... The carnivore in me wants to check it out again. Look out for an update!
