This is our go-to bar to watch the Buckeyes. Wait staff is incredibly responsive, even when they're super busy. The food is typical bar food. I do feel like it used to be better, but maybe they were just having an off day.

Wednesday evening about 630PM.

Wednesday evening about 630PM.
While discussing a Yelp Talk thread about wings, a friend mentioned HP. I called, and sure enough it's half price wings special on Wednesday after 5pm. Bonus that limitations are not just Happy Hour 4-7. We strolled on down the street to a strip center locale with a curb appeal pub. "Hey, I know this place". Mezze Middle'terranean is here also. Private parking lot, with plenty of spaces. Good size patio, partially covered for shade. I now remember hearing live music flowing out to Hamilton Rd as I have driven by on nice days. I have also seen the draw of suburban motorcycle enthusiasts.
When you enter, you are immediately stimulated by the display of TV overload. Big screen TV's are edge to edge, lining all the walls. Look down quickly before walking into a table. Since grabbing a cocktail here once years ago, I noticed the remodeling. It's as if John Taffer came here and said "more seats, more money". They are all high-top tables. No booths, no standard height tables. Maybe that is to remind patrons this is a PUB. The TV and Yuengling promotional material pretty well emphasize the PUB brand.
Seated ourselves and were promptly greeted with help for our thirst. Now this must be a go to place for local wing eaters on Wednesday night. They were hopping at about 75+% capacity. Yet, there was plenty of staff on hand, with no bad attitude to be seen anywhere. The noise level was loud. Audio overload from the jukebox, TV's, and general bar and crowd chatter, struggling to be heard. Standard condiment basket for each table holds a special drink menu, as well as the food menus. Ok I was totally zero'ed in on the wings and my starvation. I ordered Traditional buffalo with garlic. My sweetie ordered the boneless with sweet chili tai.
The wings only come in 2 sizes(boneless/traditional), half(4/5) and full(8/10). We also ordered the smothered Tater Tots, because they looked so good at a nearby table. Celery and dressing is additional $$.
The food came at a respectable time considering the crowd. I immediately noticed the volume of her plate. These are not just 2" wings without bones. OH NO! These were easily 5" chicken tenders. Right there is your value plate. My traditional were big. You would not wrinkle your nose for tiny wings here. Plenty of sauce. I like a small puddle that I can re-baste if needed. Just not the pool of sauce with wings under the surface. They were the perfect crispy. Not hard, just the perfect crunch, and seal of moisture inside. I liked the heat and flavor of the sauce. The 2oz. ramekin of ranch was half full and not a value.
Her boneless were less crunchy, and made of chicken tender meat filling. She did enjoy the sauce, and the chicken.
The Tots had a nice crunch to them. You have to order well done or crunchy if you ever order something smothered or covered. These were chili cheese, and green onion. Served with sour cream. When being seated look up. We were under 1 of 4 fans on the high setting. Eat quick, it's getting cold fast. No one seemed to know how to change it. The tots were good, but I would suggest trying a new brand of chili.
Now we really are eating quick, because literally over our shoulder, a guy is loading in speakers and setting up gear. It's loud enough. Let's go before the amp and speakers 3' away start up. I guess they have LIVE music, DJ, or Karaoke on Wednesday evening.

In conclusion, we will try to put off our wing cravings until Wednesdays. Choose a table under a slow fan, away from the live entertainment speakers. See you there.

Overall, very poor experience. This is the first review post I've ever written for any business (the service was so bad I felt the need to warn others). I had fun because I was drinking pints with my mates, but as far as resteraunts go this placed messed up just about everything. Everybody's food was cold and for the most part, wrong. If you are looking to enjoy a cold beverage, would recommend, for dinner though, I'd try your luck at a local homeless shelter before here. All in all, $70+ for drinks and lousy food..

Used to be my go to spot. Nothing special anywhere. Service is very hit or miss especially on the patio. Only a handful of good servers/bartenders. Food isn't as good as it used to be and the drinks/beers should be cheaper. All good things come to an end....:(

I've been coming here with my family every weekend for the past month or so, and we LOVE it! The food is amazing and the portions are huge. They have live music every time we're there and it's always tasteful and good music.

Went to Hamilton s Pub last night with a girlfriend and had a great time! Trivia was going on so that was a bit of a bummer considering we weren t playing and would have enjoyed some music. Overall vibe of the place was pretty homey and comfortable and had no trouble getting drinks or service at the bar! Will definitely be back if i m in that neck of the woods again.
