Went here on a little date with the wife Friday evening. I like the divey atmosphere, but my wife was a bit put off by it. I told her to trust me and to not judge a book by it's cover. She was pleasantly surprised. The beer selection was pretty good (I got the Dogfish Head 75 Minute IPA which was super tasty). She got some crafty cider who's name is escaping me. She found it to be a bit bland, but not unpalatable. I got a 1/2 order of wings and a crock of French Onion. The soup, while not completely covered in Cheese as I know and love it, was still very tasty and not too too salty, and the wings were delicious, but only came with 5 which was a bummer. In my mind, I think of wings in terms of dozens and half dozens. She ordered the veggie wrap. The bartender was pleasant and nice enough to accommodate her request to replace the spinach in the wrap with romaine lettuce. That ended up being a great decision (her words). She also appreciated that they let her get veggies with hummus as her side instead of standard pub fare like fries and onion rings. She said that the wrap was delicious. Prices were what you'd expect in BR. I'll be back eventually.
