Oh yeah!!!! Just when I was starting to lose inspiration, a chance opportunity slaps me in the face with pubby goodness! After attending a charity event at Higher Ground I was in desperate need of food and a friend mentioned the Upper Deck pub at the Windjammer which happens to be a place I have heard about on the radio a million times but never even thought about stepping foot in... until now. We rolled in and it was pretty busy for a Wed. night around 8PM. We headed straight past the fancy pants downstairs and up to the Upper Deck (haha, upper deckers are funny). The ground rules were set by DG early for the 2 of us who had never been here... stay true to the classics, away from the specials, and don't get cute. Makes sense. The space was pretty bright and open if a bit dated. There were a few tables (in a nautical theme) around the perimeter with a large square bar in the middle of the room. We ordered up a round of beers from our friendly waitress and then over a game of phone Scrabble I was forced to play we set to work on the menu. I opted for the buffalo chicken tender sandwich which was as expected... good not great but with managed expectations it hit the spot as pub fare often does. The French Dip looked pretty solid and got a good review and the nachos looked like the mini volcano model from the Brady Bunch... they were massive. Overall the scene was decent, there were girls in the place, the food was fine, the beer was pretty cold, good service, reasonable price, plenty of TVs to watch a game. I'd give it 1 3/4 thumbs up for drinking beers, eating wings, and watching a ballgame. We didn't even make it to the famous boat shaped salad bar!!!! Boo-Yeah-Shaka!!
