    Okay...I had very high hopes for this spot and this is a very complicated experience hence the two star review. I walked for about half an hour in the rain trying to find a bar that was not too crowded and been meaning to try Doobies since moving to the city so tonight was the night..I went with the intention that I would love it here is what transpired. I come into the bar around 6:30pm on Eagles must win Sunday to make the playoffs bar is pretty empty okay by me, roll up to the bar and ask if there are any specials for the game. Bartender gives me an extremely unwelcoming look and says no, I ask do you have Coors light, she pauses no facial expression at all NO! I smile back as I am determined to give this place a proper yelp review. Okay, let's start with the aluminum 16oz Bud Light. Not many people at all in this place however very annoying group of four behind me in a booth playing a card game and yelling loudly the whole time (appeared to be college students) I wanted to leave but no I made the trip here and I will experience the Doobie's bar experience come hell or high water. I ask bartender for a menu and she scours and says I have nine million things to do and my shift is ending I can't make the food right now. Wow! No, I will not be deterred although my patience is wearing extremely thin. Best part of this bar is they have a very old school jukebox playing mostly David Bowie Songs. The bar is a David Bowie / Cat Bar as the owner has a crush on both. And she does not serve any Canadian beer due to the bludging of baby seals. I was informed they were out of all menu items with Chicken. I chose the spicy nuts and was informed they were out of that as well. Ended up getting the two dollar chicken dog with mustard. This bar has a lot of vibes going on as the only other patrons in there looked very into each other and making out at the bar, they were in there forties but it looked like true love and was beautiful. I am not going to count this bar out yet but my first experience could have been better would be an understandment.

    What did I miss? People, you know I love me a dive bar like nobody's business. So when my friend told me she was taking me here, I did the happy dance. But guess what? We walked in and it was like the scene in a movie where the needle gets scratched across the record. Crickets chirped. Everyone seemed to stop talking and gave us the stinkeye. WTF Doobies customers? Seriously. It turned out that we knew some people who were hanging out there that night, and we sat down for a few. But the spell was broken. I felt awkward and out of place. I tried to rekindle the magic, but no dice. Doobies and I did not have a love connection. Sigh. Chuck Wollery, where the hell were you when I needed you most?

    Doobies was great, but unfortunately it's closed. It was a fun dive bar, but it was an unfortunate casualty of COVID.

I'm not sure how accountable this review will be, as I did take out not stayed. They were having happy hour but it didn't count for me as I was take out I guess. I got the mozzarella sticks were bomb with the sauce and I got the creamy Mac and cheese. I was excited for the Mac and cheese because I had one last night that was amazing from somewhere else. I got back to my hotel my second but I found a hair. Like a fatty I threw it to the side and kept eating it anyways. Unlike a true fatty, I didn't finish it. So unholy for a Mac and cheese lover like myself... but it was too acidic for me. I couldn't keep eating it. So I'm basing this review solely on the food. The service seemed ok? They seemed nice, but can't judge that as I did take out.

Recently, The Godfather of Meat did a keen review and video, in which everything looked awesome. It took us about 45 minutes from Emmaus, and it was worth the trip. House made roasted beef with the house gravy on a sensational Kaiser roll -- was what we came for and they delivered! Piled high and fresh with provolone cheese. This is the best beef sandwich I have had in decades. Simple quality at its finest! This has quickly become my gold standard classic beef sandwich. The "Matt Fries", were interesting and completely unique: fresh crispy fries topped with generous black pepper, old bay seasoning, Parmesan cheese and Turkey gravy. It worked! We enjoyed them and the large portion was more than enough for 2-3 people. Steph Rush very much enjoyed the mussels in red sauce -- another generous portion, served with was bread. I had an order of the cold shrimp , which is weekends only. Fresh, cooked perfectly and extra horseradish in the cocktail sauce by request. We were overjoyed with what we ordered and I love they have birch beer on tap, my favorite! The joint was packed and busy, our waitress had her hands full in her section. We are looking forward to a return trip ! #rushieeats

We secured the last booth available, ordered our drinks and anxiously awaited the infamous beef sandwiches. To say I was disappointed is a bit harsh, but worthy of such high accolades they are not. It is a decent fresh made beef sandwich, but nothing compared to DiNics. I would also rate Bob Morton's over this sandwich as well. Probably on par with Old original Nicks in Springfield- but their gravy fries are superior over the Olde Ale House. We also ordered wing that were overcooked , dry and only adorned with basic hot sauce, lacking the flavor profile we prefer. A good place to try, a decent sandwich and friendly service. A full 3 stars and another beef under our belts. Onto the next.
