The Winner's Circle

The Winner's Circle is a Sports Bar that's been around since 1973. They haven't changed much but that's what gives it its character. Prices are CHEAP CHEAP. A 24oz PBR is $3.25. Try getting that deal in Newburyport. Food is great and they have daily specials. Fish Chowder is OUT OF THIS WORLD good and the seafood is from David's Fish Market down the street. They've got tons of tvs, pool tables, keno, pull tabs, and a game room for the kid inside of you. It is CASH ONLY and self-serve but that means no one bothers you to hurry up and leave. Love free pool mondays, hilarious free comedy on tuesdays, and free trivia on thursdays ($100 CASHHH prize!). Can't beat that. Favorite bar in the area for sure

Well. It's happened again. Yelp has rejected my original review because it wasn't substantive enough and didn't describe my actual experience.

It read like this: "Winner's Circle"? More like "Loser's Circle"
Which is the most obvious joke ever for a sucky dive sports bar and I used it IRONICALLY too. Which makes me cool. Right?

So, more expansively I might say the place is dirty and disorganized. The food counter is awkward and the ATM always busted. The food is disgusting. Nachos? A nasty, soggy mess of cheese and beans... but in a bad way.

With about a billion places with tvs that show every sporting event that happens everyday why would anyone come here unless the lived within walking distance?

This place makes Sylvan Street look good but still wins out over Buffalo Wild Wings.

FAIL

This place is an okay place for a night out with friends to watch a game but not a destination spot for dinner.  The food is not bad but there is nothing special about it either...pub food (and not great pub food)

Service is okay at the bar...not very social if you aren't a regular and if you sit at a table you go to a counter to order and wait for your number to be called.  The bartender seemed irritated when I ordered soda and informed him that I was tonight's driver.  He actually called me lame.  You would think that they want people leaving responsibly from their business.  Had to flag him down to order some mozzarella sticks and didn't bother trying to order anything else after that.  He didn't offer either.  Whatever, we came to play keno anyway.

Pool tables, keno, scratch tickets, video games, dart boards and tons of tv's are everywhere for your entertainment.  Not a bad place but I think there are much better places for food if you want a nice dinner and much better places for company if you are seeking conversation.  I only come for the keno.
