Fat kid gets skinnier at "Aggy's"

Aggy's is a sports bar that opened in the building formally belonging to the Iggy's that went under. When Iggy's shut down I turned to my wife and said let's open a sports bar and do it right. Well someone had the same idea but they failed. They call themselves a sports bar but when you walk in they have make-out music playing and they have gay modern metal sculptures. The menu appears solid but when the waitress brought our food it was lame. First the appetizer, the spinach dip tasted like a frozen dinner form Wal-mart, the pita or tortilla pieces that accompanied it were so stale it was nasty.... Then there was our beverages, a bar needs to have GLASS mugs or beer glasses. This place rolls with PLASTIC mugs?? Iggy's had changed to this right before going under and it probably contributed to their failure. Also the quality of the soda was quite low, the benchmark for soda still remains Hamilton's in Logan Utah. Then came our food, my Reuben had barely one slice of meat and WAY too much 1000 island dressing... FOR THE RECORD a true Reuben has Russian Dressing which contains horseradish NOT sweet pickle relish like 1000 island. My wife's sandwich was supposed to contain mushrooms and instead it had three tiny little rubber things which could only have come from a can claiming to be mushrooms. IF YOU MAKE ANYTHING WITH MUSHROOMS YOU MUST USE FRESH MUSHROOMS! The fries were ehh and the service was so so. For a new restaurant you think they would have stepped it up. So I would have to take 2 fingers from the head chef on this one. The moral of the story is sports bars need big TV's with the volume turned ON, No gay music, and the food has to be good, greasy and giant portions. You only put one thing in a plastic cup and it's not a cold beverage.
