What was formerly the short lived Angels Café is now the Gym Sports Bar. As the name states it promotes itself as being a sports bar, but it doesn't have all that phony memorabilia crap all over the place, at least not yet, and the flat screens are really a tad too small as far as sports bars generally go, which is fine with me because I for one really don't like most sports bar environments. I can do without listening to people cheering someone on during a rerun of last week's game, wishing some $20 million dollar a year over paid bricks for brain athlete a touch down score or giving into major corporations like the NFL that manage to get their greedy hands on and squander my tax money building unprofitable stadiums for themselves.
When I've been in the Gym Sports Bar I've found it be more in the character of just being a darn good neighborhood drinking bar. Then as a drinking bar it has a couple of good things going for it. First off, the bartending staff seems to be one of the better in town, pouring a good drink, super friendly, always with a smile and a naturally demeanor. Another thing is that they serve food, albeit rather typical bar food basically comprised of wings and burgers but having a good selection to choose from and at decent prices; though I have yet to try any of them.
For me, though not a sports bar fan, I couldn't help but like the friendliness and rather neighborhood like atmosphere of Gym Sports Bar as opposed what are so many of the other sports bars, the likes of a Bokampers, being so impersonal and overwhelming with a hype sports fan commercialism.
