My husband and I really wanted some wings and were HEAVILY influenced by a video Brooklyn Bites posted the other day and decided Bean Post Pub was where we'd have dinner tonight.
We arrived around 6:45pm, the bar stools were semi full but tables were mostly empty. There is a sign that says seat yourself, which we did. We went to the back, away from the door since it is cold out. As we were going to sit, one of the employees informed us that it was dart night (no signage at all so how would we know) and we could sit in the front instead (he was nice about this).
We then sat at a table near the door and it took about 10 minutes for anyone to even acknowledge us, besides just a side eye, to get any kind of drink/food order in. The bartender came and took our drink order and we told him we were actually ready to order food as well.
He looked a little annoyed but took our order anyway. We ordered 2 orders of different wings, an order of waffle fries, and an order of 3 mozzarella sticks. The bartender confirmed we only wanted 3 and not the larger order and we said yes.
He walked away and about 5 minutes later, another employee (the one who asked us not to sit in the back) came by to bring our drinks and then asked us again about the wings we wanted and what sauce. He recommended I get medium instead of mild since it apparently is buffalo sauce mixed with bbq sauce this way I get a taste of the buffalo sauce. I agreed and didn't think to mention the other items we ordered because it seemed like the bartender got it all. We waited nearly a half hour and watched take out orders come and go, along with the couple near us at the bar (who ordered literally minutes before us) get their food while we sat hungry.
The back dart area filled up and it seemed like the focus was on those people who seem to be regulars- which I could understand since it was "dart night". We finally got our wings and the person who brought them (not sure if he was the owner or not) apologized for the wait and asked if we were okay. We said yes but didn't mention the other items we ordered since we figured it was coming out after and figured we'd eat our wings and then our sides would come. We were not checked on again after this. We were not even offered cups of water or asked if we wanted to order anything else.
The food was absolutely not worth the extensive wait or the price but the wings were decent, good cook on them and they were juicy - the bbq/buffalo sauce mixture was a little weird but I was so hungry at that point I didn't care. We never got our orders of fries and mozzarella sticks but decided not to ask, especially because they basically paid us no mind, and we also did not want to wait any longer for any more food, nor did we want to cause a scene.
We contemplated telling the person that we actually did order other food but in the end it just was not worth the hassle.
Save your money and go elsewhere for better service, food and prices. I really like to support small businesses and figured since I live a walking distance away to give it a try but should have just gone to Skinflints or Kettle Black. Never again. read more
