The bread could have been a bit more toasted but was still good. The kids Mac was penne which when you're a 5-year old the only pasta is elbow. I took a bite and it was pretty tasty too.

I was a DD for the night for friends one of my friends phones ended up missing in the pub.. didn't notice til we got home,, I drove back only to be greeted by rude door men.= lost item of 400 dollar value (cell phone) he refused during the last the last half hour to allow me to find missing phone. the door man was a rude pompous jerk! (this was written on here tonight when i got home) after I a "DD for friends" tried to even call the pub / bar as well. Rude staff at the door. Not a way to treat a good paying and polite customer. a little to cocky and rude for a door man. good place if u like dive bars - bad if your drunk not the place to get tossed many cops in lot waiting on everyone to pull out all night long.. stay with a drink or 2.. and never lose anything the door mouse might tell you to get the hell out. bad business.. shitty way to treat anyone who just wants their personal belongings. Save the rudeness for the rude foul drunks,, not DD looking for cell phone, rude just rude. I would never go there again ever! who hires someone so rude to a DD driver? says a lot about the way its ran! customer service is key, they have NO problem serving you drinks, but a real issue with doormen who think they need to behave as they are in some hulk contest to a girl over a phone. I would hate to know the doormen under the influence of anything.. cocky, I can not believe how rude they were and I drank soda all night doing my part for friends.. completely shocked! not recommend to anyone with manors or who like common respect..

3 stars are you serious???? rude staff, owner doesn't care!! he is always there and doesn't care that the staff treats people horrible. The bouncers I have seen start fights with people for no reason they do more harm then good. The cops frequent here because its a dive. They will let you order a drink at 1 am then at 1:10am they scream last call and you have 5 minutes to get out!!!! some of the worst service I have ever seen from a place. I would say buy a 6 pack and go home drinking in your garage is better then this place! read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! The staff are the most disrespectful people I have ever seen! After walking into the bar and being there for all of 2 minutes the bartender (who I have never met in my life) said he didn't like me or the way I look or something and refused to serve me. Then kicked me out when I asked him why and said he didn't want to argue. So I left. I spent 5 minutes at this place and it was more than enough time to say that was the worst experience of my life! Do not ever go here. read more

He blew my…read moremind, as a former bartender, listen to this: I ordered my usual drink, a vodka redbull tall, extra ice. First he started making it under the counter, which I don't like, then it had a few inches left, he put a lime on the rim and moved the glass. I thought to put more ice in. Then he started adding something from the gun into it. I said mid-shoot,"what is that???" He told me it was club soda and when I asked WHY??? he didn't flinch and told me that that was a lot of redbull. I'm sorry, when did bartenders start making decisions for people, let alone without asking them???? I'm flabbergasted. Guessing this is his first gig as a tender. But still. WTAF???? Then! Came over to offer us menus. Took them to see if anything had changed, more of an opportunity to go back up to the bar. Friend asked for an NA, he said he would look for a domestic but kept trying to sell him on IPAs after he said no thanks on those. He comes over asking how we are doing, offers a refill of water. Comes back with club soda, turned around after a bit and said oh hey I think that's club soda. I said yeah, he interrupts me to say well it's just water with bubbles in it. Like we are idiots and should just keep it. We both said he can't do it, throat cancer, etc. so he acquiesces. So weird. I decide to order one more just to see what happens cuz at this point I wonder if I'm on a hidden camera show. I'll have one more please Ok, what was it? Vodka redbull tall Then he throws out my seasoned ice and straw Brings it over to me and says see? It's just a lot of redbull. It doesn't fill it up all the way. It's like it needs more ice.

To the layman it may seem like just a dark "pirate" or "tiki bar", but the focus is really more centered around Lovecraftian and cosmic horror - not something you see you often but very much appreciated among those who are familiar. The menu is accessed by QR codes on the table. They have an *extremely* long list of cocktails, all named appropriately with the theming, but somewhat lacking in variety. Most of the cocktails are some combination of rum, spices, lime/lemon, and maybe something else fruity or sweet. My wife had a Ships from Far Shores while I enjoyed an Astro Orbiter. Their menu has an indicator of how strong each drink is, and it doesn't lie. The Astro Orbiter tasted great but was indeed quite strong. The staff were extremely polite and a pleasure to talk to. Unfortunately their kitchen was closed the evening we went, so we weren't able to grab any food, but hopefully we'll to try some the next time we stop by.

But in truth, I'm almost disappointed. No, the new Home Plate is nicer, cleaner. The staff is, get this: friendly (!). But when you try to order drinks, only the most expensive liquor is available (they're out of affordable options, it seems) and when you go to order food, many items are unavailable. This is a management/cash flow issue. The food we had was ok. The drinks we had were ok. Feeling railroaded into spending more on premium booze for mixed drinks wherein it doesn't make much difference, and having to opt for food items THEY wanted to prepare rather than those we wanted to eat, was decidedly NOT ok. Lots of big TVs, so definitely a sports bar vibe, and what shows up in front of you to eat and drink doesn't suck; but keep in mind that they don't care about what you want, or what you want to spend on it. Give it a try if you want. But I'm not going back unless I hear buzz things have improved. I wish them luck.
