The Night Beat: Stay. Social Tap and Table
We grabbed the last empty parking spot on the night we visited. Though it took us approximately half an hour to be seated, the time seemed to pass quickly. Jovial hostesses sat waiting customers as fast as tables were bussed.
Wait staff worked tirelessly to ensure that customers received their orders in a timely fashion. It seemed to take only a handful of minutes for my husband and I to receive our dinner once we placed our order.
We split a plate of The Boss wings coated with a blackened dry rub and cayenne pepper. Crispy and hot, these spicy wings are the perfect complement to a tall, cold glass of beer.
The stage is set along the back wall near the bar area and is large enough to host a full band. With a wide-open floor plan, the restaurant assures that every seat in the house a good one for watching the stage and enjoying a night of live music.
