beer good- food bad. go for thegoodbeer (or bourbon) selection at cheap-to-resonable prices. eat before you get there. gems on the beer list, 12 different dog fish head beers, ayinger celebrator, founders breakfast stout, ommegang on tap, bluepoint rasta rye on tap, brooklyn monster bottle for $6.00. twenty four belgian bottles on the list, most for $8 to $10.00.
no beer snobs here, non-beer lovers can get pbr (in a can of course) for $3.00.
the food is from bland to awful. smoked sausage is edible, nothing else is. collards were sweetened? ribs dry and hard. fried shrimp should come off the menu, they are too old and hard to eat. mac and cheese overcooked watery pasta and velveta. fried pickles were mostly breading, not enough pickle. i'm not a serious foody, but this was awful.
even the sweet potato fries were cold and soggy.
this is a nice space to hang in. if you have a few friends get together for a beer, this is a nice place, but eat a sandwich at home so you won't be hungry.
the bar is long and these is room to spread out. the band sucked, but they knew it and had fun on the mike anyway, so it was ok.
last mention, our waitress was a very nice young lady with a great attitude. we would have complained about the food if it wasn't for our very pleasant server. not overly in-your-face friendly, just realgoodat her job and comfortably friendly.
