The Podium

Its an oddly placed, oversized dive bar with a restaurant attached to it. Been 2x dead each time, same single bartender. If you know server culture I think this places primary demographic is servers from other local restaurants. The beer was suprizingly expensive, but the food was good for the price point. A bit run down, a bit off from the arcade design, just off balance. Someone did the tables in apoxy with 70s and 80s album covers but didnt deal them down first and so theres significant waves in the tables. That kind of non matching kind of messed up a little exhoes throughout. Its a kind of weird place. Not necessarily bad. It is what it is.

Steak Philly is dry and plain about 20 fries, all for $15+, not worth the price. Tenders basket is very salty soggy chicken. First and last time ordering

My wife and I went here on Valentine’s Day to see our friends band Four Warned. We had a wonderful time. The food was amazing and the staff was super nice. We will definitely be back.

I arrived here at midnight on a Friday night with a friend after seeing a movie at the theater across the way. The bartender finally came over after we waited about 10 minutes and 5-6 other people were served and those people came up the bar after us I ordered an AMF (blue motorcycle) and bartender didn’t know what that was, lol. It was not very tasty tho. My friend got a regular margarita, which he liked. On receipt, there is an option where you can pay online, which is nice. I dislike how they give the cost of credit card processing to us as this is likely a tax deductible expense. Waitress came over to ask if we were okay and if we wanted another drink but she immediately turned and walked away before we could give an answer lol. This was comical to us. A few minutes later, we did order more drinks. I got a margarita this time and I wasn’t fond of it either. I wasn’t impressed with the drinks or the service during this visit.

Went to the Podium on a Sunday night. Walked in and there was about 15 people seated on the food/bar side. Many of them worked for the bar and were there on their own time (they talked about working there or the one girl walked up to the bar and said she’d check herself out and proceeded to turn the POS system around and go through the screens). These groups of people were watching the football game and were so loud and obnoxious that we felt uncomfortable. They were screaming and yelling and yelling obscenities at the TV. I get that it is a sports bar but this was next level. As far as the food, the wings were great. The chips were pretty good and my husband’s sausage hoagie was ok but was drowned in so much beer cheese on it overwhelmed the sandwich. We were going to stick around and play some of the games as we played a round before dinner but we ended up leaving straight after paying our bill. The service was quick and easy it food came out pretty quick but we were not given any silverware, we had to go ask for it. I wanted to really like this place but there are a lot of other choices in the area where I don’t need to listen to a bunch of women scream obscenities at the
