A couple weeks ago, my husband and I went to Fitzgerald's to see one of our favorite bands, the Red…read moreElvises. It was our first time there. We purchased GA tickets online earlier that day. When we pulled up to the venue, we were a little uncertain as to where to enter, as the venue had several stages. A it turns out, the show we went to see was in the "nightclub", interior of the venue. When we walked in, we noticed that many of the tables were reserved. However, it was not yet crowded, so we found an open table still close to the stage. The venue is really pretty small, so no seat is a bad seat. We got drinks right away. They had a full bar and a decent drink menu. We chose the Vieux Carré, which was pre-made in large batches by their bartender, but still very good. It was nice that there was a cocktail server serving us all night. It was also nice that they served food from the restaurant in the nightclub. We were able to share some appetizers before the show. All in all, it was a great venue with an enthusiastic crowd. They had good food and good drinks. I do think I would have been better if they had a larger dance floor, as some of the reserved tables (which remained empty) took up dance floor space. We were still able to find space to dance, but it would have been crowded had there been more dancers.

We went as a group to see a show and have food during their $5 burger night. It was a cool vibe…read moreoutside, but the food and service not so much. When we got there the door greater host asked if we had a reservation. Reservation? For burgers outside? No. He seemed frustrated and bothered but found us a seat. Waited for someone to come up and take our order for over 10 minutes. Had to ask someone for help. They sent someone over and again, she seemed bothered. We ordered drinks and 15 minutes later finally got them. Might have been better to just walk up to the bar and get them ourselves. Then the food. Another person, not the same as the drinks, came up and asked if we were ready to order yet. Like in a demanding way. Again, not welcoming at all. We ordered the $5 specials. 2 burgers, 2 pulled pork. They came out fairly quickly compared to everything else. The person who brought them out was at least nice and had a smile. The burgers themselves are pretty big. Double patty with cheese and a sauce and served with waffle fries. Pulled pork sandwich was full and with fries as well. The problem was, there was nothing else on the burger. Very plain and well done. And the pulled pork sandwiches were so salty one of us didn't even finish it. It was like some opened a salt shaker and dumped it out on the. Very dry and chewy strings of meat as well. We asked a couple times for condiments and drink refills but that was like pulling teeth and gave up. No condiments on the tables at all besides hot sauce. When the bill came we about fell over. For a $5 meal, it didn't come out that way at the end. Between adding a coke, tax and whatever fee there was a $5 meal more than doubled to $12 each. Again, we had cokes, not liquor. And no special add on toppings or sides. And don't get me started on the S'mores kits they sold us. $12 for 4 small marshmallows, 1 full gram cracker (broke in half), 1 Hershey bar and a stick. I mean I know chocolate's been expensive lately, but dang! I mean you can get an entire bag of marshmallows, box of gram crackers and a couple candy bars for that price. The show itself was fine. Kind of loud for the small room it was in and a little too packed for the room size. We didn't feel welcomed at all. At any point. No one was upbeat, happy or even smiled besides the one guy that brought us our food. The opposite really like were were bothering them for being there and eating food. It was like they all had that we're too cool for you vibe going on. But really it was just small town I hate my job attitude. To management, I'd suggest you talk to your staff. If they are truly that unhappy working there, address it. Or, if this is the vibe you are going for, it doesn't work. For the food, it smelled great outside like a campfire bbq but the $5 specials are only a good deal when you can actually eat them. Talk to the chef and watch how things are made or ingredients put in. We will be back for the entertainment, but not sure on the food.

The place is clean, the workers are friendly, and the beer selection is awesome. Our participants regularly stay after the Trivia ends just to hang out. Many of them started hanging out there on non-Trivia nights too. Although they do not have a kitchen, they are more than willing to let you know about takeout options nearby and will facilitate your order and delivery. For example, we get pizza for the Trivia participants from a place down the street. If you want a great neighborhood bar where you can hang out with friends [and even make new friends] in a comfortable atmosphere, you can't go wrong here.

For entrees we ordered the Beef Tartare, Caesar Salad with Blackened Salmon (an added request), Italian Sausage Orecchiette, and Braised Beef Short Ribs. Absolutely nothing disappointed and everything our waitress Lauren recommended was spot on. She is a rockstar! For dessert we ordered two chocolate mousses, and Crème Brûlée to share. The perfect way to end our night. This is a great upscale date spot or place to celebrate as it is on the pricier side, but we could not have been happier with our food, service, and overall experience.
