My wife and I ended up here last night, in the midst of a lively Stanley Cup finals crowd. It was really loud, but we were already too buzzed to mind. I had no idea this place would be like an urban B-Dubs!
What I want to remark on most is the value of the food here. At least for what we ate and drank -- a fine selection of $5 and $6 beers, a Saturday $5 wings special (these were delicious; we wished we'd gotten two of those instead of the half slab of ribs which came out too dry for our taste -- not tough, but just dry to the point where the succulence of the meat didn't come through as much as we expected it might), most entrees below $15 -- I am excited to have a place for a cheap and delicious date in the future.
I also want to give a shout out to the bartender; I think his name was Jordan. He was impressively on top of his stuff and, amidst a throng of shots-doers, brought us our food, extra napkins, refilled our waters and checked in on our dining experience as if we were at a table. Much respect for that! We did, though, have a busser try to take an unfinished glass of beer (same thing happened at Barrelhouse Flat, actually; the staff were so overeager to keep everything tidy they failed to notice that thin line of liquid we had left to savor, not to mention that I didn't get to eat the liquor-soaked cherry at the bottom of my Sazerac and didn't react in time to retrieve the glass before it whisked away -- that pisses me off!).
My only real complaint echoes one made above: Those fries are terrible. They really did taste like frozen BK fries; in fact, mine didn't even come out hot. But they did work well enough for me to taste the various sauces on offer; I liked the mustard one best, but they were all nice. I couldn't exactly taste any bourbon in the bourbon sauce, though; as someone else said above, citrus is what dominated for me (though in a different, maybe more sour way than in the sauce called 'citrus').
So, great place, great food -- change those fries and I will love you! I'll be back for more wings.
