Definitely a great place to hangout and catch up with a friend on a quiet day. The staff are awesome and very in-tune with their guests and it seems like there is a strong group of regulars that frequent the bar. I definitely can see myself becoming more active there and bringing friends along. I got a bit confused at first thinking there would be some simple food options there since it's called Spigot CAFE, but no food unless from a food truck, if one is available. Good to know!

Their drinks are pretty cheap, especially the 2/$5 Jell-O shots. They didn't seem to have any flavors except watermelon, which was fine.

For my drink, I'm having the Pratt N' Whiskey. This is made with Woodford Reserve bourbon, sweet vermouth, red wine and sour mix. A straw is odd for this drink. It tastes pretty good though! The restaurant is right across from Pratt & Whitney so it is play on words. For my appetizer, I'm having the Chicken Tenders with Cajun seasoning (off of the "Bar Bites" menu). I don't have these very often! I like the celery and carrot sticks. These are delicious! Chicken tenders (also known as chicken goujons, chicken strips, chicken fingers, or chicken fillets) are chicken meat prepared from the pectoralis minor muscles of the bird. These strips of white meat are located on either side of the breastbone, under the breast meat(pectoralis major). They may also be made with similarly shaped pieces cut from chicken meat, usually the breast, or sometimes just pulverized chicken flesh. They have a live band here! This place is famous for live music! These guys are good! I could stay here all night! For my next item. For my next food item, I'm having a Side Caesar Salad (tossed). A Caesar salad (also spelled Cesar, César and Cesare), also known as Caesar's salad, is a green salad of romaine lettuce and croutonscommonly dressed with lemon juice (or lime juice), olive oil, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, Parmesan and black pepper. This is delicious! Wow! For my last drink of the night, I am having the Manhattan's Creek made with Knob Creek Bourbon, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth and Angostura bitters. This is very similar to a "Perfect Manhattan" (martini) which is made with dry and sweet vermouth. Wow! Look at this! This drink is great! I love the taste! The bartender is awesome! This guy knows how to make a drink let me tell you! For my entree, I'm having the Fra Diavolo made with homemade sausage and a shrimp in a spicy tomato sauce with onions, garlic and roasted red peppers over rigatoni. Yes, as hot as possible. "You can't make it hot enough so I can't eat it." Outside of Indian restaurants, that is usually true. This is a huge plate! Oh yeah! This is good! The shrimp is huge! The pasta is cooked just right! This is the best! I like the fact that the bartender brought over Tabasco sauce and hot pepper flakes. Now you're talkin'! This place is the best!

You can also put quarters for the table on your tab if you don't have cash, which a lot of places won't do for you (the table is free some nights too!). I don't believe they serve food, but the beer and liquor is very reasonably priced and hits the spot every time.

Parking fills up on popular nights. They seemed very understaffed, with only 1-2 bartenders for a packed outdoor area. The kitchen did not seem to be able to keep up with the demand, though I do feel like we should've been warned that food would take an hour when ordering if it were that backed up. I went back to check on my food twice , the second time being at an hour and 15 minutes since I placed the order , with people who ordered after both getting their food first and finishing before I received mine at all. After I finally got my food I had to wait additionally to ask for condiments and waited 10 minutes after asking the bartender if I could close my card while others who came after me both ordered more drinks and paid first. The bartenders did offer us a drink on the house to try to help, though when I finally got my food it was 10pm. I probably would not order food again. They were also out of all ciders . This bar can be fun for its outside games but i would pickup food elsewhere first .

Honestly it was only $5 more than bottomless, you can poor it yourself and they can provide a side of juice if needed. I personally think it's better than doing the bottomless. Will come again!
