Picking up on my sarcasm? I'm laying it on pretty thick. Nice little hole in the whole "Irish" bar. However the quotes around "Irish" bar are intentional, as the pizza I had for lunch today is more irish than this joint. The only thing Irish about this place is the young brogued indie-rockesque bartender, who my girlfriend and I lovingly named "Doucheface". Apparently, nobody informed Doucheface that his job is to serve drinks, so patrons will in fact order drinks from him. His response after every order was either a grunt, or body language that screamed "I'm busy, leave me alone". The female bartender on the other hand was a delight, although she needs to stop calling everyone "baby" and "sweetheart" as she isn't good looking enough to do so. But she did buy me a drink and had big cleavegy cans, so I imagine scuzzy old dudes will respond to her bartending more than myself. As for a Sawx bahhh, in my book putting up a pennent or two should not qualify you as such. Pat O'Brian's is my number two place of choice to watch a game, and The Riv of course reigns supreme. But you know what? Those places are crowded, so I'll be back to Hairy Monk again for some great wings, to be condescended to by Chesty McGee, and to say hi to my ol' pal Doucheface. Oh, how I hate him so.
Pros: good wings
Cons: bar service is kinda bad
