Will never set foot in this place again. Here's why: After a two hour wait at the bar they seat the 8 of us at a booth that can barely hold 6 people. We don't know what to do with our coats. No coat hangers, no place to put our coats. And then we realize there's a $3 coat check. How is this possibly acceptable for a bar/restaurant? Then halfway through the dinner the live "music". Oh god...who allowed these people to sing? What should I do if I don't want you to sing for me? The girl is screaming at the top of her lungs like a dying cat and I'm supposed to enjoy this while having dinner? I ask the waiter how long this is going to go on for and he says he's not allowed to talk about this...meaning that the poor kid is already going insane there.
As for the food, I got the "big" double which was the size of one regular burger. For $20 I'm actually very disappointed. It was dry and overpriced. The beer selection is good and fresh. I would give them one star for this but it is still overpriced. Two pints cost us 18 dollars before tip.
