    Warm pretzels and beer cheese (cheese is another picture)
    Lawrence P.

    We have been a frequent flier to Pirates Cove, but wanted to officially review this place. I have had salads, Stromboli's, wings, appetizers, and of course...ice cream. I can't recommend this place high enough. Every single item I have ordered has always surpassed my expectation for quality, and the personal service I receive from Dana and Alesia make every trip even more special. Today, I ordered the warm pretzels and beer cheese and was blown away. I could honestly order it twice and make it my meal, it was that delicious. This will definitely be a repeat order for me, and it will be frequently. The wings also came recommended, and as a wing snob, I was delighted with the flavor and quality of the wings. I asked for the garlic butter wings and special requested their pizza spread on a recommendation from their manager. I was not disappointed. I topped it off with this week's yogurt flavor made into a refreshing sundae on a very hot day. I know I already said I'd be back, but it's true. And I can't give them a higher recommendation than more of my money! My only wish is they were open year round

    I'm less than halfway through this hamburger, but the meat is already gone because it was so small. I'm left with 2/3 bun and condiments.

    Not a fan of the food, I have only dinned in one time. The ice cream is a nice treat. The best part about them is their location.

We chose to eat outside in their beautiful garden, which made for the perfect setting. I ordered the Hawaiian-style poke bowl, and it was absolutely delicious! The portion was very generous, with plenty of fresh ahi tuna. One of the highlights of our visit was meeting a brother and sister who were also traveling from out of town. We ended up sharing a table and great conversation, which made the experience even more memorable. The service was excellent. We asked our server for a recommendation, and he suggested the poke bowl--and I'm so glad he did! Everyone in our group loved their meal. If we're ever back in the area, we will definitely return. I highly recommend The Knickerbocker!

But we decided to not spend more time for finding something else and stepped in. It was very charming,surprisingly well kept,of course old,but in a good way. Menu was intriguing,modern and seasonal,which I value the most. Waiter was engaging in our menu exploration and was knowledgeable. Now to the food.. cauliflower appetizer made as General Tso was one other best cauliflower in my entire life. Lightly fried,not mushy,but with exact chicken like texture in divine sauce,kicking spicy with sweet undertones. In the same way not overpowering to forget about cauliflower itself. A+ for that dish!!! Pirogi was a little doughy on my opinion,but taste was good. Asian bowl with salmon had great flavor profile: cabbage salad was beautiful and freshly crisp,carrots were marinated perfectly with slight vinegary flavors,bok choy was unbelievably delicious. I asked for medium salmon,mine was almost well done,but taste was good and rice in the middle wasn't sticky and flavorful,but had watery texture and was bland. Overall,this is an amazing festival of flavors and technically challenging menu. Bravo!!!

We got two of the breakfast plates, as it was a little too early for the kitchen to do lunch. Though advertised as bacon/sausage, we were automatically given bacon (not sure if they ran out or just forgot to ask if it was supposed to be a choice). The ordering process was simple and food came out very quickly. The place was lively and appeared to be a nice hangout spot under normal operations. Appreciative of the business being open for special hours on Groundhog Day!

And cooked accordingly. If you're in the downtown weather capital, it's definitely a good place to eat

However, if loud and rowdy is more your style, then come on in! Let's get the obvious out of the way... this place is small. Granted there are probably smaller bars out there, but it's definitely one of the smallest ones in the area. There's bar seating and maybe 5 tables, plus a pool table. If you like your bars intimate, then this place is for you! A slight word of caution: It's very VERY likely that if you will go here on almost any night of the week you will run into local students from the two nearby colleges. (It's local and cheap... Every college student's dream.) That brings me to my next point: This place is cheap. And I don't mean like a few cents cheaper than your average beer cheaper, but cheaper as in $10 in mixed drinks may leave you with a drunken state of mind. (Public Service Announcement: Don't drink and drive, people. Please.) Anyway, one thing unique to this place is their notorious "Shot Book". It's a hand written recipe drink book. Shots are generally $1.75/ea and mixed drinks anywhere between $2-$4.50/ea depending on the drink. They used to have a super old and much cooler "Shot Book", but someone unfortunately stole it. All in all, if you're looking for a fun and relatively cheap night out.. give the good old Penn Ave a try. Bring a buddy and play a few rounds of pool.

First, the location is convenient to find. It sits right on the main street, and there is a welcome flag outside. There is plenty of parking and the outside of the building is very nice and well kept. Those are the last good things I can say about this location. We walked inside and it looked crowded, but in actuality, there were less than 30 people in the entire place and only about eight sitting at the bar. I do consulting work so I travel frequently and when I do my husband and I take those opportunities to visit wineries and distilleries in the area and this is the first distillery I have ever been in where the display is located right behind the barstools and with the people sitting at the bar And their friends standing behind them, we could not even see what the distillery had to offer. We stood at the bar for about 15 minutes and the bartender never even acknowledged we were there. Now again, it looked busy, but of the 8 to 10 people sitting at the bar there were 4 to 5 at the far end of the bar who were there either before or after a wedding reception that should have been cut off , and they were monopolizing his attention. After we waited for him to take a drink order for more than 15 minutes after we were told he would be back twice, we just decided to buy liquor to try at home. I squeezed my way amongst the group to find the very small display in the back And literally just grabbed a few small sample bottles and one bottle of caramel something and made my way back to the bar. We put the bottles on the bar, put my husband's wallet next to the bottles, and we stood there for 33 minutes, I timed it on my phone because my husband and I had a bet on how long it would take the bartender to come back. I won at 30 and at 33 minutes. We walked out and left the liquor on the bar. The gentleman sitting in the seat next to where we were standing, could see our frustration and told us if we wanted to go to a real distillery to go to the Moonshine Distillery in Namty Glo, which we did and it was worth the drive! Unfortunately, this location looks like it's a bar with some samples on the wall, which is great if you wanna be a bar, but for people that look for distilleries and spend $$$$ when they are there, this is not the place to go. My recommendation, always acknowledge your customers when they are at the bar, even if it's just to say hey I'm busy, I'll be right back, but never ignore them. I have been to distilleries and wineries that are in old barns, in the middle of nowhere, and they still smell like active farms, but, the liquor was superb, the displays were amazing, and the people that worked there were friendly, engaging, and just amazing people which made the experience a five star visit every time.

Cobb Salad Meatloaf dinner Loaded French fries (cheese, bacon, chives, sour cream) Fresh soups (can't go wrong with any of them) Country fried steak dinner As you can see we can go on and on.
