General description:
Came here with colleagues for happy hour drinking. $2 a beer, half off selected appetizers. We ordered them all. The natchos is not outstanding, but the garlic tossed French fries are rather fine, fried calamari is also plenty, goes well with the beer. The blacked fish is, however, a bit small, there’s only about six pieces of fish in one dish. Could have hoped for more, but tastes pretty good, surprisingly spicy in its flavoring, and the fish is still juicy. Beer variety is also pretty good, but nothing as spectacular as some of the Irish pubs in Mountain View. I probably would choose somewhere else for happy hour gathering for a party of 8 or less. For more people, however, the airy barn feeling with its nice patio filled with gorgeous morning glories should be a good choice. The menu looks very adventurous, featuring New Orleans specialties like alligator sausage and wild boar sausage, and it has a weekly rotation of wild game burger – buffalo, elk, wild boar, and a couple others. My colleague said that the wild game burger is good. I need to try it some other time.
