A decent bar, but I wouldn't go much beyond that.
I came here after passing through this 13th street neighborhood one evening after a run around Camel's Back Park. I spotted restaurants right away among the brick buildings and small neighborhood type feel and decided I'd come check the place out. I decided to stop by Hyde Park Pub and Grill with my coworker this evening.
Upon entering, it immediately felt like the sort fo small time bar that people come to hang out at. I grabbed my one (and only) happy hour beer before headed out to meet my friend, who was already there. Happy hour is daily 4-6pm and you get a dollar of drafts - not too bad since drafts are usually only $4.25/pint craft and $3.25/pint domestic. They also serve 22oz drafts/domestics and pitchers.
After the previous posts' rave on fish and chips (you know me), I decided to try this place out. And since I was pretty hungry, I ordered the Buffalo chips and wings for starters with my friend. The app was okay - but not the best wings and fries I've ever had. In fact, I was a little disappointed with the fries - the menu called for a double order, but I could hardly say that was anything more than a single order (if even that).
The fish and chips? They were... regular bar food. Nothing spectacular. I'm starting to forget what the hell I was originally looking for in fish and chips. I feel like I've just had an awesome batch before - hot, fresh, crispy and delicious.... but I've had nothing that compares to it since. I don't even clearly remember my first great fish and chips. That being said... these were your classic pub fish and chips - decent, but not an awe-inspiring meal.
Throughout the night, I sampled their selection of Seasonals on draft: Drafter Pale Ale (I like this one), Sierra Nevada Kellerwies, Sam Adams Oktoberfest, and Spatan. They also had Blue Moon as their seasonal... but I'd consider that a domestic really =P Not too shabby a selection and hey, I guess I caught the end of their glass sale - Wednesday nights through September, you can get a Sierra Nevada glass for free with purchase of a Sierra Nevada beer! The actual offer is - get a Sierra Nevada beer and you get it for happy hour price ($1 off) and pay $1 for an extra glass. But basically, you do the math and it's a beer plus a free pint glass =P
Overall, not a bad place to be. I'd avoid sitting on the patio - we sat out there and there were a bazillion flies. GROSS. At least sitting inside you'd avoid those... =P
