Not sure what happened Sunday and Tuesday.
During basketball season we eat out and/or have a drink at different restaurants. Since we have both men and women's season tickets we're down there alot.
On Sunday, floor fans were being used in the bathroom area and there was a sewer smell. We didn't eat there.
On Tuesday, floor fans were still there but there was a strong awful aroma chemical, glue. My husband's eyes were starting to burn. We went into the bar area. Could smell it at the bar. Moved to a table. Moved outside.Suggested they open the doors which they did but unfortunately two guys were out there smoking cigars. Sign on the door said no smoking. The doors had to be closed because of the cigar smoke. We drank our beer and got our sandwich to go and found a bench outside on Witherspoon. And more beer at OShea's. We'll start going back to OShea's next season. (Will make a note on the calendar.)
Before we left Troll, I told the cigar smokers what was going on with the restaurant problem and we couldn't sit out here or open the doors because of their smoking. One guy claimed that he worked there and that there wasn't a no smoking sign. I took a picture of them through the door with the 'non smoking' sign.
Anyway, later, after the game, we went back to Troll for 'a drawn our sorrows in beer' and to look for a manager. The manager did not care what happened earlier. It was tough that the guys were smoking. If they're serving people out there they can't smoke but if not, we were basically the ones with the problem. We like the servers in the bar area but will not go back.
(OShea's instituted a small menu for game day so we quit going for that reason unless we got in there early enough; Down One's food is really good but inconsistently priced; smallest plates are the most expensive - we've learned; Sidebar food took too long; Doc Crow's once or twice. Our children like Troll so that's why we ended up going there so much; BBC; even the Bristol once when we had time, but we don't tend to go to the south side when the weather is bad because we park on the north side. Lots of options. Again, note to self on October 2014 page:-)
