Surprisingly good local bar that we went to tonight. When I initially looked at the menu, I was not inspired at all and figured it was going to be all about the beer. Seeing as I did not order a drink, I figured this was not going to be a good meal.
I ordered the clam chower, ox-tail poutine fries, and this burger which was cooked medium with Vermont cheddar, caramelized onions and bbq sauce. The chowder was ok, nothing special and would not order again. It just did not taste as rich as some of the others I have had around here and had some fake oyster crackers on it. The crackers were made to be unique though, so credit to them for trying. The fries were interesting, as the ox-tail was braised so it had the consistency of pot roast. The meat was shredded and layered in with a gravy that topped the fries. There were also 3 dabs of a mysterious cheese that was soft, spreadable, and sweet. The mixture worked and the fries stayed remarkably crispy given they were covered in liquid, and they were quite good. I would order those again. The last part of the meal was this burger which again surprised me with how good it was. First off, it was cooked medium, which made it juicy and tender. The toppings really worked with the sauteed onions, cheddar, and bbq sauce. Bun was good too and was overall a good burger.
Coworkers seemed to like it, although didnt rave about it as much as yesterday. Solid, local food place that also has a ton of beers. May go back since its walkable from the hotel. Give it a middle 3 out of 5 because they didnt do anything drastically right or wrong.
