Great new hangout!:
My wife and I went there last week after our monthly trip to Best Buy (it is right across the street). We were going to get some food to go, but we ended up staying for two hours, chatting with some people we knew from our usual hangout (which I shall not mention). Needless to say, we all agreed that Benchwarmers would be our new place to go after work for drinks. The food, which we ended up eating there, was great, the drinks were cheap (happy hour FTW!) and there were plenty of pretty girls to look at. I will definitely be going back, and you should check it out! See you there!

Great time every time!:
Benchwarmers is quickly becoming my new favorite hangout. I've been to the one in Erie, also, when I was up there for business, and liked it also, but this one is really close to home.
The women are beautiful, not skanky like the servers at a lot of Aurora's other "neighborhood" bars. Their clothes are tight,sure, but nothing is hanging out all over the place. No ugly tattoos or scary piercings. Did I mention they are all super friendly?
If you like pool, they have two pool tables.
There is a jukebox, full of music (no gangster-rap, i was pleasantly surprised to see), and if the jukebox isn't playing, there is satellite radio piped in until someone plays it.
There are dozens of HD tvs around the place, all showing some sporting event. I saw a sign for a pay-per-view fight coming up soon, no cover!
I was surprised at the quality of the food and drink, being touted as a "sports bar" and all. Let me give you a quick rundown:
Wings - lots of sauces to choose from. They tell me the wings are fresh, not frozen or pre-cooked. Big and meaty.
Burgers - I had the burger with the whiskey sauce. It was messy and awesome.
Drinks - All of my beers came in frosty mugs. The cocktails were strong but not over-powered.
All in all, I have been extremely pleased with my visits to Benchwarmers. I would highly recommend going there, and have recommended this to everyone I know. Every time I go there, I see someone else I know.
