even though the service was slow and not-quite-timed correctly, i am almost tempted to give them five stars, but i don't want to mislead anyone. it was weird being in this former club space. (revival - right?) it was crowded which should be expected on a first friday. the beer selection is great!! my first drink was a beer bomb with an apple-infused whiskey. yummy!! how can you not love a place that has black velvet and snakebite listed on the menu!?!??! i have been on a mission to find good nachos and fish-n-chips. i found both here. the nachos were tasty and definitely grand. don't order if you also having a meal! unless there are several of you at the table. the fries were real steak fries - not the pressed-together crap you get at many places these days. the fish...mmmm... i just didn't care for the tartar sauce. it was not your typical tartar sauce which i prefer. my boyfriend liked the pub steak and fries. they cooked it correctly the first time! i would definitely recommend this place!!

No star if possible. We should all petition to rateclubs so they can assign zero star to Circle. I think it's just that bad. While the crowd for the most part is fairly friendly, the management needs a lesson in humanity. He very well may be a shrewd business man. (how else can get get away with the prices he charge for this place). Ok, maybe part of me is hating because I'm not Korean and didn't get the preferential treatment. That must be it, because everyone else seems to be enjoying themselves. Wow, I totally lost my thought for a second, but yes, that's why I do not like this place. If you're Korean, you're fine. If you're not, you'll be treated like the scums of the world. I can't believe this business model is still in practice, in NYC, no less. *heavy sigh. Remember kids, say no to drugs.

*Overrated* A hangout for the Greek community (jocks, not Mediterraneans), Trudy's has bland, uninspiring food and insipid drinks. If you spend more for a top-shelf drink, you won't actually be able to taste the liquor because it is drowned in cheap sweet stuff. I ordered a Patron Mexican Martini here once, and it might as been made with well tequila. Or vodka. If you must come here because you have been dragged by some overenthusiastic friend, try to come when it isn't mobbed and either don't bother with with the top shelf liquor, or impress upon the wait staff that you need to be able to taste the stuff, even if it means cutting the amount of mixer in half. If you are really fond of crappy margaritas and you have a designated driver, go to Baby Acapulco's instead. They make them in a variety of flavors (well, colors at least) and you wont have the expectation that it's any good from all the hype.
