Restaurants that don't suck thread

yeaaa… if you are ordering captain and cokes at mike a’s…you are in the wrong venue.

Its not the kind of place to get shitty. If you want to do that, hang out with the kids on chip strip.

I’m a big fan of their vodka gimlets, mainly because its pretty much vodka on the rocks with a twist. These arnt well vodka drinks either, you use whatever brand of booze you want.

Also, one of my favorite things about this place is you can go on a fri/sat and actually have a conversation. most places have some shitty band playing / music louder than it should be / combination of both with shitty acoustics…

But I’m an old man and rarely out past 11 anymore…

i should mention that i work at ingram and am poor.

Eat at Mike A’s, then walk 10 feet to Pan American Grill bar for drinks… problem solved?

Who chooses a restaurant for the drinks or the price of drinks anyway; it’s about the FOOD.

Forgot to mention Western Door Steakhouse @ Seneca Niagara. Fantastic everything. Definitely not cheap but reasonable if you have plenty of comp points…which I do. Recommend the Chairman’s Delmonico.

Western Door is good but if you’re looking for fine dining atmosphere that’s the wrong place, they let any Wal-Mart looking shopper in the door; I’m sorry but If I’m paying more than $100 for two people I don’t want to see sweat pants and ass cracks.

Well that sounds vaguely familiar. Only been here five months so half the lingo people spout off about still goes over my head.

I don’t think they are worth it when they are in a small ass glass with a giant fucking ice cube. Just had my work Christmas party down at the Hotel Laf tonight. The pseudo-Pearl St drinks put Mike A’s to shame for the money. I’m not Betty Draper ordering a gimlet. I am ordering a Captain and Coke…I don’t need the best ingredients or some foofy shit. I need Captain Morgan in copious amounts, some type of mixer, a pint glass as opposed to a little one, and my wallet not to get ass raped for $9.

If you’re ordering a captain and coke, you’re at the wrong bar. Expand your horizons a bit and let the bartenders do their thing, perhaps you’ll be surprised. Different drinks are designed to be made with different glassware, different ice, and it’s all for a reason. The reason you have a huge ice cube is so your drink isn’t diluted in 10 minutes. You’re asking for the equivalent of mcdonalds at the finest steakhouse in the city… Order a sazerac next time.

No you are just a nerd. It is way more hip to hang out at a place where you can’t have conversation. Hipsters rarely have anything worth contributing to conversation anyway. LOL

I’m not an old man, and this sounds like a great thing.

Want to know why the music in clubs is so loud? Because no one there has anything better to say.

Where do you think hipsters hang out? I would go so far to say that most “hipsters” can’t stand the people/places you describe.

We can go on a brodate later if you want to see? <3
