Anacleto Bristol Review of Main Event Restaurant & Bar

I'll begin by saying that had it not been for my nurse friends, I would have never walked in to the spot. Not that the exterior looks bad, it's just understated. However, after walking in you'll find and expansive interior. The fully stocked bar to the right and flat-screen TVs everywhere scream "sports bar" but the tables and booths scream "Diner." You be the judge.
As far as the food, you'll again note a very big menu covering steaks to seafood. I haven't had the guts to try either of those, but their burgers, wraps and salads are good to go. I've also had the Sweet Potato Fries (I wasn't too impressed by those. They were too thinly sliced & slightly overcooked) and the baked clams (Solid). If you're a sports fan and you want wings, I don't know what to tell you. On one occasion, one of my friends said they were good, the other said they were a little dry/overcooked. In my opinion they were worth 3/5 stars when compared to the best wings I've ever had. Again, you be the judge on that and let me know how you feel.
The bottom line is that I'll definitely go again, but here's a Grain of Salt: I've only gone during the week. So service has always been fast but there's a lot of sports on the weekends so there is the possibility (and high probability) that the service you get over the weekends may be a little slower due to high volume. The service my friends and I have had has usually been excellent. They've got very nice people on duty there.
Know Before You Go:
1) They have free WiFi! That's always a plus.
2) If you're pressed for time (hospital workers usually are while on duty), you can call ahead and have them start your order before you arrive, even if you're dining in. Their menu is online.
