Another burlington identity crisis waiting...
Just like Ri Ra's calling it self irish and having hip hop night this place could fall into the same trap. If youre going to be a posh sports bar, then make it a bar. If you want to be a restaurant too, then focus on that. Trying to be both at the same time is going to drive away folks. The main dining room tables mix right up to the bar, it almost feels like a place to make vegas bets. You might get a waitress every now and then, but your pretty much on your own. Also, St. Paulie Girl was the beer special on sunday afternoon? I dont know about you...but that doesnt sound like a "sports bar". Wings were good, although small portion and a bit pricey. Lunch and dinner menus are almost identical except for the font. My message to the owner. Keep it simple, keep it focused, and pick a theme. Ill come back, but if things havent improved this is another bust.
