Problem: We went on a fairly slow Tuesday night, early-ish, for half-price wings and a couple of pints. The waiter was friendly when he was actually around, but after taking our order for wings he disappeared and served the patio crowd, despite the fact that we were the only sit-down table in the pub. We didn't see him again until well into our time there; I had to go up to the bar and ask for blue cheese dip and celery/carrots to go with our wings. Failtes is also known as being a very authentic Irish pub with a great atmosphere, but the music piped into the place was awful. Nickelback and something that sounded like heavy metal. At one point it seemed to switch onto some loud spoken-word Dave Chapelle comedy bit, replete with gross language ("you m------f---- b----! f--- you, n-----!") that went on forever. Who wants to hear that in a pub? The wings themselves were pretty good; nothing to write home about and certainly not on par with any wings chain in town. The veggies were limp, a bit spongy and cut very thin, while the blue cheese dip had no actual cheese in it and tasted like bottled salad dressing. The real kicker? Despite the dip and veggie sticks being on the menu as included with all wing orders, we were charged $2 for them on the bill. When I asked a staff member why we were charged for something that was to be "served with" the wings, according to the menu, he said that since it was half-price wings night they charge for it as an extra. This little "extra" wasn't mentioned anywhere on the menu or on any wings-related signage in the pub. What a gouge! I hope my $2 was worth it - after that experience I won't be back, nor will my husband or any of the people I've told about it.

Problem: I've sat in the restaurant once and in the bar area a few times. First off, all the sports on all the walls: AWESOME!!!!!! You can come in and watch a few games at the same time and just enjoy a couple hours of entertainment. That entertainment does come with a price, though. The food is meh. I really can't describe it. It's there. It's edible. That's about it. It is fun to try the varity of wing sauces, though. Some of them can get pretty pontent! The service is meh+. We were kinda rushed out the day we were in the dining room, and I've had to wait waaaaaay to long for a beer, hell even to get acknowledged at the bar. The prices hurt a little bit, but I guess they do have to pay for their sports packages and you don't have to. The fact that you can buy bottles of their sauces is a huge plus. Their bold anti-2A stand point is very off putting, but a lot of patrons go to drink and drinking and carrying is a big no-no. That should be something that the state regulates, though and BWW shouldn't police the innocent. This place is walking distance from the house (albeit a long one, up a hill), which is a huge saving grace for them.

Problem: I love this place for the food, but the service is exceedingly SLOW but very nice. Don't go in unless you have the time to spare. Baba ganosh, hummus and pita with the Greek salad w/ Chicken Sharma are among my favorites. The dressing for the salad is so simple but incredibly flavorful (lemon, garlic, olive oil). I keep wanting to take the husband here but we usually think of it on Sunday when they're closed.

Problem: Atmosphere - very small and lacked air conditioning. Whole in the wall kind of place. Fish tacos - Super!!! Nice and hot. When you take your first bite, CRISP and flavorful. You may need to consume at least four to be full. They are mini tacos. No salsa bar. They give you tiny containers with sauce. Expect long lines, since they were featured on yahoo.
