Post a CommentHorrible place! My husband and I went there to sample the large menu of beers and grab some lunch. The Mussels were under cooked in what tasted like dish water. We sat in a room with large paintings of naked ladys. It was not very pleasent to sit across from while you are eating. The water was as hot as the temperature outside. The Burgers were raw in the middle when we asked for medium well. We waited a very long time for the food which sucked. The beer was the only good thing.
Beer cafes! That's a new concept to me.
Interesting - especially since I live in a dry county.
