by Ava R. on Beer pong! GREAT prices on drinks ($5 for a margarita on the rocks, all day everyday)! Lots of space! Bar, lounge, tables, and a downstairs for private events Shitty music :( Blah (not as in boring, as in unattractive) crowd :(
by Francesca Bumbrey on This place is a hoot!!! It's a definite dive, no b.s. kinda place!! I come here once every couple of years if I'm in the area...and last weekend I was, having dinner at the Gold Mirror and having a few rounds at the Shannon Arms. Grandma's is never crowded! Ever! Wait, I take that back, it was crowded right before the millenium...I walked past this place enroute to a party and couldnt believe there were actually crowds of people both in and out of the bar!!! Sometimes you look at the folks in here and wonder if they ever get out much...and the answer is, most probably don't and when they do, they come here!! Here's what's great about it: - As mentioned above, it's never croweded! If you want to head to a bar for some serious rounds of drinks and just breeze in and get a couple of seats, this is the place - The drinks are cheap and S T R O N G!!! Nuff said - They have one pool table and it's very well maintained and you can usually get in a game upon arrival or after a very short wait! - Parking is pretty easy and/or this place is right on the L Taraval Line - The bartenders are pretty cool! If you're some drunken idiot or Frat boy type that goes in and makes an ass out of yourself, yeah, you'll get stared down or 86'd...if you're cool, they're cool. So be cool, k? The not so great: - It's sad and empty...how do they stay in business? This is why I come by, literally, once every 18-24 months. - The juke box IS the worst ever!!! It's always been bad, still is, probably always will...both in content and from an audio quality perspective. Just don't... - This is not the place that will "lift your mood"...you know how some bars...you get there, feelin' kinda crappy but after a few rounds, the music and booze and energy of the room convinces you that you're hot and bad ass and everything's gonna be ok? Um..well that won't happen here...if you come in glum...you will stay glum and leave drunk and glum-mer! (like Nicolas Cage's character in "Leaving Las Vegas") only less sexy!
