This is a neighborhood place, with a neighborhood vibe. Sports bar indeed -- lots of TVs, lots of noise, lots of cheering. As an out-of-towner, I was a little intimidated, but in the end, I'm happy I gave it a try.
Because the food is astonishingly good! Much better than you'd expect from either the look of the place or the location. As I bit down on my first French fry, I almost did a double-take. It was one of the best I've ever had, spiral cut, battered, and fried twice. My fish tacos came with grilled fish, not fried. They were stuffed full. And the "bang bang sauce" on the side really topped them off.
Drinks were generally good but uneven. I had a top-notch Manhattan, a very good lemon drop martini, and a just okay margarita.
I have to say the service left a lot to be desired. It was hard to get my server's attention. He never gave me the wifi password that I asked for. When he brought my food, I tried to order another drink; he refused to take my order because he was too busy. (He did come around and take it a few minutes later.)
Even so, I gave him a nearly 50% tip. Why? He was the only server in the place, the whole time -- and he was tending bar, too! The poor guy was run off his feet. Considering the impossible job he had to do, I think he was fantastic.
Note to owner(s)/manager(s): Please don't leave any server on his or her own again! It's not fair, and it will drive away...

Read moreAudibles serves amazing food. Audibles is a comfortable place to be. Audibles has a lot of TVs to watch sports. Audibles has a shuffleboard table. The food is the key. It isn't regular barfood. I have had about 5 things off the menu. The food is inventive. It is fresh and flavorful. It feels like they are trying to impress you with the food and they succeed. It is as if, the person back in the unseen area, the kitchen...the magic kitchen,, knows that they are good at this, and they just keep doing it. The fact that I haven't had a bad thing off of the highly varied menu is reflective of someone who is showing-off, back in the unseen world of the...
