It was always an event when I went. Driving an hour or so with family or friends, grabbing a bite and drink before the game and then watching what was at the time a decent brand of hockey.
I’m fairly picky about service but as a former food service employee, I understand their plight. That place gets bananas before and after games.
A place I didn’t enjoy as much was Pearl St. Just too much of a college bar atmosphere. Waiting 20 minutes to get to the bar for a drink, underwhelming food, much less than desirable service.
