Catch 22

This was my second visit. The first time the food was good and the atmosphere was also good. The TVs were tuned to a couple of the ball games and the music was suited to the crowd. On my second visit, the food was good. However the atmosphere didn’t match up to my first visit. First of all, all of the TVs were tuned to the same channel, and it wasn’t a sporting event. When someone asked if they could turn on the Bears game, they couldn’t find it. It was on channel 31. They turned on one of the other football games. All of the TVs were now tuned to this game. The music that was playing was suited for the staff and not the customers. Most of the customers were older that 30. The music was Pop and Hip Hop. It was also playing too loud. I liked my first visit better. The TVs had a verity of sports on, the music was a good mix of Classic Rock and the volume was at a level that I could hold a conversation with my wife. Also, they had a $ 1.00 beer special. Someone sat next to me and got one of those $ 1.00 beers. This customer smelled like all he could afford was $ 1.00 beer.

The security guards were very nice but the bartender not so much. She was blonde and was working on a friday night. We asked for 3 Vegas bombs so when she poured 5 we were confused and we asked who the other 2 were for. She told us to calm down and made it seem like we were angry but we weren’t. Just asking a question. She overreacted and thought we were upset. She did not seem very friendly. We talked to the security guard outside, Michael, and he said he would give us free drinks for the next time around. Very nice guy. I hope to have better service next time…
