I decided to give Barristers a try and was really looking forward it. My buddy and I sat at the bar and ordered the large nachos and two beers. The nachos came....lame! Who still uses cheez wiz? They were obviously using a bargain brand chips and dumped the cheese on top. The plate was cold and so were the chips. Can't anyone make good nachos in this city. The bartender was busy with couple of drunk patrons. He had a quick fuse and threw them out. After they left, he called them faggotts! Come on, this is 2008 in Philadelphia not Alabama. Couldn't he find another way to deal with his frustration without offending everyone sitting at the bar. I asked about the dart board, but it is placed in such a spot that is inconvenient to play. There are tables in the way and people would have to be moved to play a game. Besides having bad food and an offensive atmosphere, Barristers looks like it could have potential. Maybe another night, another time. Can't say I will give it another try for a little while.
