BarFly's Review of East Bank Saloon
Resembling one of those century-old dark-wood 'n' brick-laden bar & grills forever dotting the financial districts of proper downtowns, The East Bank isn't actually downtown & we have't a financial district, for that matter and the endurance of this featureless sports bar remains a mystery. They do turn the volume up for games, a local rarity, and the classic menu's (Shrimp Louie) decent though comically over-priced, but conversation of stragglers sneaking a butt 'round the smoking corridor's long tables inevitably turns to why, tradition be damned, they continue to return.

I have watched a few sporting events here, and drank nothing but water for most of them, thus precluding my review of the drinking part of the establishmet. However, one sunny Sunday afternoon a friend and I ambled across town, visiting such hoity-toity meccas of commerce as Goodwill. We decided to have our evening repast at the East Bank Saloon, seating ourselves out back on the patio. A hungry cat seemed to have taken up residence under our table, and mewed appealingly for any scrap we had leftover. Needless to say, my feline friend scored most of my entree.
