I have been to this hip little bar a few times and enjoyed myself thoroughly. I was completely amused with their decor and use of space and not to mention the extensive and unique martini menu. They turn mixology into an art. Every martini is hand crafted and huge. If you like art and martinis this is where you wanna be. Details are key at this classy martini bar in the heart of downtown.
I will be updating my blog whenever I find a bar or restaurant that offers anything free, meaning, no purchase necessary. Bigfoot has a free popcorn machine! Rock on! Load up on the salty delight and then stock up on some beer from the bar while you play some pool. Bigfoot has been there forever, I remember my mom telling me stories about when she use to go there when she was just a tot. So, if you like good old-fashioned pubs that serve up free popcorn and are actually open until 2am, this is the place for you.
My family and I went here for an early lunch about a week ago. We were taken aback by the huge amount of stocked bottle beer and local wines. They have an impressive inventory for what use to be a fruit stand when I was a kid. You are welcome to pick out a bottle and drink it while you dine in or you can mix and match a six-pack to go. The food we had was good with typical diner fare of burgers, club sandwiches, and fish and chips. Some of the more creative choices are the deep fried green beans served with ranch and the beer cheddar soup served with beer bread. They will be open later in the summer and will have a fire pit out on the patio so you can drink your 22oz under the stars that you can actually see because of Mcglade's Northern location. If you get out there, they have some yummy in my tummy hard cider, make sure you get one to drink with one of their frozen homemade apple pies you can take home.
I stopped in here for lunch, to go, one day when I was driving all over the South Hill. If you aren't looking for it you won't see it, so keep your eyes peeled. I got the chicken chow mein and it was gooooood. The veggies were fresh, crisp, and not overcooked or mushy and the sauce was unique, not store bought. I ate it in my car, while continuing to drive all over the South Hill, with chopsticks and it was deliciously messy. Is there a law against eating chow mein with chopsticks while driving? If not, there should be, which would leave you no other option but to eat in their restaurant, and what a good option that would be. It's small and charming and is decorated with local art. Gordy's is a tiny hidden jewel among a city of crappy Asian cuisine. Make this your new favorite place, you won't regret it.
I don't really understand why they call this place Northbowl when its not really north, Lilac Lanes should be called Northbowl. What I do know is that Sundays are a happenin' night. For $6 a person from 9-midnight you get to bowl for two hours and this includes your shoe rental. It's a damn good deal and the alley is always full so try to get there early to reserve your lane. Don't forget your socks though, it will cost you $4 for a pair but on the plus side they have a cute tassel on the back that shows off the curviness of your ankles so wear shorts if you forget your socks.
We live within walking distance to this little bistro/bakery on Monroe. We have gone there a few times, mostly to pick up a loaf of their swirled rye bread that is massive in size and baked fresh for $4. We have also gotten some tea. My husband is a nut for loose exotic teas; his favorite is at this bistro. They serve up omelets, quiches and things of that nature. If you take a stroll through Riverfront Park pop out on the northwest area of the park and scoot into this cute cafe.
