by Kieth Robbin on Okay, I only came here for drinks, so I can't give a full review. I'll update this review once I go back for food. A couple weeks back the ladyfriend and I decided to go out to have a drink. We originally intended to go to Shangri'la's Mardi Gras party, but we only had an hour and figured the $10 was a bit excessive, so we waltzed over to the East Side Show Room. We intended to pony up at the bar and have one of the "vintage" cocktails that East Side Show Room offers, but all the seats were taken, so we were seated outside on the little patio. The atmosphere is very unique and very interesting. There are high priced art pieces on the wall that are for sale. When we were there a funny silent movie was being projected on the wall. The tap looks like it was an old school submarine telescope viewing thingy. Even the menu is unique in it's design. It's square and has pages devoted to weird menu items. In my opinion, the patio area was very "romantic". We were sat at a small table with a little couch. There were a bunch of handmade lamps that were very cute hanging from the ceiling. The drinks were really strange. I wanted to try one of the absinthe drinks as I hadn't had absinthe since my senior year of college when I took some shots of it. Anyhoo, the drink they mixed up was really interesting. I liked it quite a bit. The cocktails are quite expensive at about $8-10 a pop. But they had some less expensive beers as well. I got an imported pilsner for $2!!! They rotate the Pilsners on a regular basis. The prices of food and apps was a bit above my budget, but it did look like they had some tasty stuff. I'll have to check it out when I go out for a celebration of sorts. I'm definitely going to be back here for food and more beverages - I'll update my review when I do.
by Irene F. on I had some high hopes when Sheryl and I wandered in here one semi-rainy semi-gross night for a glass of wine and a snack. It looked very nice from the outside...and the inside looked promising too. I was slightly confused by the bouncer at 8pm on a weekday, but whatever. We grabbed a table, and waited. And waited. And finally the waitress came by and we basically had to tackle her to give her our order (2 glasses of wine, 1 order calamari, not exactly brain surgery). The wine was definitely a stingy pour, but the calamari was quite excellent. Service was amazing...and not in a good way. After our waitress brought us our wine, she didn't reappear at all. I wanted to get a second glass of wine, but apparently they didn't want my money. Instead, when we finally flagged her down, she tried to take away my calamari! Now, honestly, there wasn't much left. But shouldn't you at least ask if I am done before you start grabbing food out of my hands? I am not one to go down without a fight though...I demanded my food back and she complied. And then brought us the check. OK, got it, you want us to go. I know we were just there for a quick drink and a bite and wearing jeans and such, and there's this big club party there in the evening, but come on. It was probably around 930pm when we left, and there was a velvet rope and the beginnings of a line outside. What on earth? Where on earth were we, and was it really in Sunnyside? And who goes to stand in line in the rain all decked out on Queens Boulevard at 930pm on a weekday? Really? Seriously, one extra star for having some really good calamari (tentacles make my heart sing, what can I say) but otherwise, what the heck? HOT MESS. That's all. PS - kudos to the drunkest girl ever who fell not just once, but twice, while trying to get her drunk self to the bathroom...which was right next to their table. Wowza.
