The Sports Grill

The service is always good. The food is never very good. Beer selection is alright, a few nice finds. But the real appeal here is the 2-for-1 all day every day deal. Two draft beers for the (still inexpensive) price of one. Good value at an otherwise unspectacular place.

Ate here while traveling. Typical sports bar wannabe. Saw a Sierra Nevada sign, so I knew they had at least one decent beer. Had to wait more than 5 minutes for someone to seat us even though only about 10 percent of the tables were occupied. The craft beer selection was not large--mostly Sam Adams and Southern Tier--but there were several I was interested; I was from outstate and they appeared to be regional offerings I was unfamiliar with. However, when I asked about the "Ubu ale" I was told that, "It’s kind of a dark beer." (I looked it up when I was home; based on the ratings, I would have liked it.) I settled for a Southern Tier IPA with my meal. Another disappointment: they offer "2-for-1" but the 2 beers are 10 oz each. To add insult to injury, they are served in chllled mugs. The beer was too cold to taste. Food was good.
