The Worst Wings

by eastvillagecritic at Citysearch

Those were the worst wings I've ever had in my entire life. They tasted like they had been sitting back there for an hour before they re-heated them in watery sauce and served them to me. If they were hot and fresh, they would have been good. But they were cold and were as tough as leather. Beware.

There are many other places to get great wings!

  • Pros: Guinness on Tap
  • Cons: The Mandatory ID Machine Swipe at the Door
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

** 10 cents WINGS **

by MLevey at Citysearch

I come here a few times a month with friends to grab their 10 cents wings and cheap but good draft beers. Most nights they will have a $4 dollar draft on special.

Great and friendly staff as well!

Get here early because it gets packed.

  • Pros: Good wings and Beer

+!!

by JRocha238 at Citysearch

It's a bit of a pain that they don't take any of the of credit/debit cards. I stick to the drafts because their bottle selection is a bit warm for my taste. Other than that, it's a good place with good staff. I also like the fact that the music isn't so loud that you have to yell to have a conversation.

  • Pros: Beer selection and good wings
  • Cons: AmEx only and warm bottles.
