How many of you? It’s on the smaller side and feels more like a local joint. Not to knock it, I’ve enjoyed the place when I’ve gone. Just depending on what type of vibe the bachelor party has might not be the best.

But if you’re pretty low key and just want to play pool and knock back a few you should be good. Other guy mentioned the pizza, I thought their wings were pretty decent at least for Stamford.

Thank you for the detailed response! I will definitely check some of these places out.

I used to play in a league a few years back pre-kids and would love to do it again at some point. Does the Stamford league have a website or anything?

I like to research all the candidates on the ballot. I find the Republican Party of late appalling, but remember a time where New England Republicans had some reasonable ideas I agreed with. I would love to have stronger candidates in both parties (or…I know it’s crazy…but more than two parties!) because I’m not so naive to think Democrat automatically equals good. But it’s really hard lately. Viera is a good example - I saw the signs so I checked out his campaign page. There was nothing of substance, seriously it was laughable. He could not have spent more than 5 minutes writing it up and his strongest point is #realdad (actually what the site says). It’s honestly bordering on offensive that someone feels like they should have an elected position without proposing a single concrete stance on anything. But then again, he still got a decent amount of votes. So I’m not sure what’s worse lol.

Yeah, I’m not opposed to it. I worked in the service industry for years and know even the best place or employee has shitty days. And I also hear it recommended a lot. It’s just really hard to shake an experience like that. And it was pre-Covid too, so not a matter of lack of help. But to your point, they must be doing something reasonably well to hang around as long as they have. So I’m willing to try again.

I keep seeing people recommend Luckys. I had, hands down, one of the worst restaurant experiences of my life there. It was so shockingly bad I thought I was being pranked. The waitress took our order, mine was a combo that included a dessert. Waitress brought the dessert first, and that was the last we saw her. Apparently her shift was over but no one told us. Another waitress eventually brought my meal but not my wife’s. Said it’d be right out. We ordered drinks again, never came the first time. My food was cold when it got to me so if figured I’d wait for my wife’s meal because why not. Drinks came, no second meal. Never came, we said forget it just the bill. There were double charges plus the meal that never came was on there. And they gave us a hard time about fixing it. Mind you, there was maybe two other tables in the place. I guess it could be a bad night, but wow. That was a whole new level.
