The Phoenix Bar & Restaurant

I have one big complaint - the wings are not priced appropriately. The price does not scale properly with the number of wings, so going from 9 to 12 results in an 8 dollar price jump, and 18 is over double the price of 9. I'm not sure if this is just an oversight or some sort of pricing strategy but it's annoying when you're looking to get a little more than 9 Overall, it's a low-key, very chill spot with some decent taps and a decent menu. So, I give it a 4 despite the annoyance of the wing pricing. Edit: looks like they addressed the pricing issue months later

I read that the Phoenix is getting demolished, but unclear when! I don't live close enough to go here often, but I've always enjoyed it. Bartenders and other bar flies are fun to talk with, and the calamari was good... Though you should really stop eating octopus because they are capable of culture and social hierarchy. Anyway, I'm heading over to get a last beer and soak in the 21 year old bar.

Cool atmosphere. Our experience would have been a lot better had the table next to us not been so loud...but it's a bar. I had chicken quesadillas, and they were probably the best quesadillas I've ever had! Kinda weird considering this is an "Irish" bar. Their Irish Soda Bread is very good. 3 out of the 4 of us were very happy with our meals.I see two reviews rating this as poor. I thought it was really good. We had a funny waitress who was drinking in the afternoon and joked she was going to get fired for drinking. But she took good care of us, we had good food, the beer was really nice, the atmosphere was great and we had a real good time.

A buddy of mine and I stopped by here to get some food before going to a concert at The Chapel down the street. It was fairly crowded on a Saturday afternoon but not too bad. But there was only one bartender/waitress running the place so she tended to be quite busy. I had a Shepherd's Pie that was very good.
