When we first moved, we noticed folks very hard at work on a new corner pub not too far from our building. We vowed that when they finally opened their doors we would give them a chance. Well, the time has come! District is officially open for business. :)
A couple of pitfalls: they still don't have a website and they're not offering a full menu yet. Just burgers, fries, wings, salads and drinks for now. BUT, we did see why they were so hard at work on construction all these months; the decor is absolutely fabulous! The dark wood, stained glass, and mirror details give it the cozy old world feel of an established neighborhood pub.
It was quite busy (especially considering the abridged menu), but service was very friendly and prompt and they offered a nice variety of beer.
Mel tried the burger and fries (juicy and well-seasoned)...
and DJ tried the wings (well-seasoned, but all the sauce was on the side which isn't his usual preference).
Overall, we wouldn't necessarily go out of our way to return to District if we didn't live nearby. It's pretty much what you'd expect from a corner bar. But considering how close it is to our place, we're willing to keep an eye on it and return when the menu has expanded. Or perhaps for an afternoon of Sunday football watching on one of their 4 screens at the bar. :)
