Since we had some time to kill, the hubby and I stopped by The Box Social to wait out the 30ish mins. I wanted something light and refreshing so got the sparkle pony. It was indeed bubbly and refreshing. Tho very light given there was vodka in it. The aesthetic of the place is very minimalistic. It was super quiet and bright when we were there. So the vibe can be a little sterile. Bartender was great. We just wanted a quick drink and he delivered. Once my friends joined us, one ordered a quick soda and we were on our way to dinner. Great if you want a very chill bar. Worth checking out for a round. REVIEW #3731

My cocktail tasted more like a boba milk tea than a cocktail (the liquor got lost in the milk) but his was decent and had a better balance in liquor and bubbles. The aquariums though are amazing! Well maintained by the owner and the fish are docile and used the people; meaning they don't hide but are swimming around. It made for a great change from the normal cocktail scene.

Mainly, I enjoyed being surrounded by fellow Midwesterners. Since then the ownership has changed, and I haven't been back for another football game. But, I have enjoyed multiple beer fests, tap takeovers, and quiet nights having a beer and food with friends. I LOVE Saraveza! The staff is friendly, the beer selection is top notch, and the food is very good.

They are also a full bar, and they make some fantastic cocktails. And being Midwest, they have some absolutely fantastic food. A couple of my recommendations would be, of course, the cheese curds as well as the poutine tots. If you've never been, give this place a try. They do offer some outdoor seating as well, which is nice for when the weather is warmer.

Have this spent-grain roll, locally sourced cheese, farm raised ham, and lettuce, tomato, and onion that we grew on the roof topped with hand-pressed olive oil and spent-Pinot Noir vinegar. That'll be $25. Want to play some pinball? Pay this $3 cover and bring a bunch of quarters, load up a card that only works here, or pay a one-time fee of $23 to play as much as you want. Want to eat on a patio? Go to one of these tables we've wedged behind a dive bar or go into the lobby of this residential building/music venue, find the elevator and hope you counted the floors to that roof deck just right. I love Sit Tite because it's just fucking easy. It's open all week, it keeps the pinball up front and just takes quarters and bills, it gives me chicken parm when I want it, it has a good coffee cocktail when I have the money for it and $3 Rainier when I don't, and it basically has a giant dining room out back. Sit-Tite's menu could've warranted a full dining room, wait staff... the whole nine. But I'm glad there's one fucking place in this town where I can just put an order in, play some pinball, have above-bar-quality food waiting for me when I get back, and just enjoy a night outside. Yes, there are nights when the chicken parm's too much of a mess and I swing over to the hot Italian or fried mozzarella, but Sit Tite never tries to make my life worse by doing things "better."

I like George's, fun place. But recently, I was playing the slots, and a guy came over and claimed…read morehe had put $1.50 in and that I had played his money. I was certain he hadn't, and there was no sign saying the game was reserved. To be peaceful, I just said, "How about I play down to $1.50 then, and you can have it." "Oh no, you play what you put in and give me a percentage of your winnings." I had no intention of doing so, so I played my money down and left the bar, with him bitching that I had quit playing. He was a pretty big menacing guy there with some people, and I didn't want to get into some fight, which is why I just left. but I would suggest the bar put out laminated signs, like other bars do, that indicate if a game is reserved for 5 or 10 minutes. Also, the staff should do a check on the gaming area every 10 to 20 minutes, some people just sit there without putting money in games, and more than once I've been hit up for money -- it's a bit unnerving when someone is looking over your shoulder or nagging at you as you're playing. I really like Georges and want them to succeed, but if they need to really watch for the cheapskates who come in and try to scam other customers, most of whom are working class folks just trying to relax.
