question:
So disappointed. Walked in and never greeted or shown the lines they carried. Basically had to ask for help. Blo next door was amazing and just wanted to complete my look for a night out. A guy sat in the middle of the store in his laptop never ever looked up. Go to Ulta or Sephora for service. This place was a joke. Never felt so out of place. My friends and I still spent over $100 each but will NEVER go back.

question:
On our second trip to Smalls, we were hoping for a different experience, it didn't happen. Both times we've been, the restaurant has been out of several of the more appealing items. The first time it was super crowded, so seemed possible, the second time not at all, and was just annoying. The food sounds interesting, and does make efforts to be unique, but falls short of the very high prices they charge for such small portions. If I had to describe it, I would call it overcharged glorified pub food. The beer list is interesting, I'll give it that. But just because you dim the lights and turn on dance music doesn't mean you're the hotest stuff around. If I was in the mood for a drink and some ambiance, it would be a good place to start for a drink. If I wanted more expensive food with great flavors I would try out Custom Shop and Carpe Diem nearby.

This is one of the few places I literally get cravings for. Yes, cravings. For a bar. I feel like readers might judge my palate for that statement, but I can't help it; I love me some Four Peaks.

Honestly, I'm not even a big fan of beer, but this place was the first that allowed me to enjoy it. I prefer my beer on the lighter side, so I always order a Pale Ale, Sunbru, or Peach Ale (my favorite, great if you like sweet, fruity brews!). I've heard the darker beers are fantastic as well from several beer-loving friends, and the selection has something for everyone.

What really gets me here, though, is the food. Oh my god, the food. I have never tried anything here that isn't delicious. If you love spinach artichoke dip, theirs is TO DIE FOR. I won't let myself order this unless I'm sharing it with at least two other people; otherwise, I'll finish it because it's my drug here. They serve it in a huge plate with all the pita bread and tortilla chips you could want.

I've also tried the Thai hummus (great spicy kick!), their gigantic burgers, a few sandwiches, and some fried food. All of it has been amazing. For dessert, you can't beat the Stout Shake. And after trying the seasonal Pumpkin variety last fall, I'm looking forward to its return this year!

The totally chill vibe and set-up of this place is pretty cool, too. If you don't know, it's not an entirely enclosed space; kind of open, similar to Dos Gringos, with a large outdoor patio area. It does get a little warm in the summer, but it's not too bad.

Downsides? This place gets insanely busy on certain nights and weekends. Which leads into the next point: parking sucks. It's seriously horrible. You either have to park on 8th street, off some random neighborhood side street, or try to find room in one of the tiny lots nearby. I always hate the long walk from my car to Four Peaks, and I hate the drunken walk back even more. But I gotta say it's totally worth it.

Great drinks, great food, and a great place to hang out with your favorite people. Definitely not your average bar!
