I bitch about WalkOns drink prices, but it would definitely be cheaper than Ivars.

Fun fact: I did litter detail with the owner if Ivars. He was a nice fellow.

Yes and trust me we are fine. Tp didn'ttake that much. II'll admit tothe 10-15 places tthat have opened up within 5 miles the last 6 months taking a bite. I still have a strong store. Sales are good and I'm efficient with my costs. I just get compare to the ridiculous amount of business we had when we first opened. No new restaurant can maintaina that.

Doesn't make it better.

I have no doubt that TP is bad.

Walk ons food is bad as well.

Neither hooters or TP food is that bad. Both have items on the menu that I enjoy. However I don't go to either place for the food

Ivars may be overpriced, but why anyone would want yet another WO in that location instead of one of the few authentic bars left in BR is beyond my comprehension.

TP's food is mediocre at best. Can't beat that wingsdays deal at Hooters though!

I completely agree with this. I've never had a bad time at Ivars, but it is definitely my least frequented bar in the area.

I assume the OP means Last In bought it since there's no way a WalkOns would fit there.

I don't want a walkons there but saying Ivar's is authentic is a stretch.

The place is a shithole
Its really expensive
The beer tastes like the lines last got cleaned in 2004

i like dive bars, and after the fairwayview and time out lounge burned down Ivars and Duvics are some of the last good haunts in the city.
