Went there before my very first live concert - The Fray - and was treated at this place in particular due to my date wanting me to give the fish and chips of this restaurant a try. The verdict? Pretty good, as I recall it. The fish was fresh, nicely well battered and fried. The chips were decently good. And the hush puppies were pretty good too. And of course, the view of the cemetery as you dine with date. Definitely a date to remember...

So, I've been here a handful of times now and nothing has really inspired me to write a review... perhaps in part of the only partially remembering a couple of the times. The last three times, however, I've been sober and with rateclubsers... how often do you hear those two words together in a sentence? Not... very... often. Perhaps not often enough but, whatevs. There's really not much to say that hasn't been said... lots of pool tables, a couple shuffleboard tables, Nintendo Wii and video games in the upstairs (on certain nights), and high amounts of douchebaggery from the obnoxious 6th Street crowd. Not to mention the craptastic rap/hip hop/ whatever the kids are calling music these days blasting over the loudspeakers. I've been here for the Indiana Jones pinball sober, don't remember why while intoxicated, probably more unnecessary beer intake. What sort of inspired me to write this review were the events of this evening, after being present at the 3rd place winning of the trivia at BD Riley's across the street. I quickly managed to irritate the bartender by requesting a sample of Lucifer beer (I don't think they usually do this here, he could've just said no) and hastily declining it. It was pretty awful, incredibly sweet... like a beer attempting to be girly. Ordered a Fireman's and it was presented to me in a dirty glass, it seemed as if there were particles of dirt on the edge of the glass and a couple on the side. He threw it down and poured me a new one. I thought it was kinda funny, then realized that he was REALLY irritated. Assclown. One of the rateclubsers with me even noticed the guy's asshattery. We played a couple killer games of pinball, finished the beer and went on our way. I'll definitely not go out of my way to come back here... even if they do have pinball and a Wii, for which they get 3 stars instead of 2.
