I hate to say it, but Bunk is a victim of its success.

There's really two aspects, the Bunk sandwiches part, and the bar part.

Bunk sandwiches has a huge following, and they try to do something solid, but frankly, I've been less and less happy with their food. The quality is better than average, sure, but the flavour just isn't there. The hot nuts snack is disappointing, the fries, even when filled with beer fueled munchies, aren't that good, and I've been with different groups of friends who agreed on this one. It's unfortunate, because I so want Bunk's food to be awesome, their concept being so great, but it's not there yet.

As for the bar... parking sucks, it's loud, has little seating, can get very packed, and the bar service is pretty unimpressed with anything hipster attitude mixed with not that great mixology skills. Beer list is nothing special. Happy hour pricing is good, and regular pricing is fair.

They do host live music, and often without cover, and as a place to bike to, it's cool.

I just wish it was better than it is.
