Went here this past Saturday and decided to visit the bar for the first time. The bar has WAY too many seats for the amount of people that show up. The room looks sort of looks like the bar from Cheers. Tony, the bartender, is like a character from a Stanley Kubrick film. He's super nice and confident in his mixology knowledge, but really has no idea what the hell he's talking about, which makes him a joy to be around.

After asking for a few cocktails he couldn't make (no bitters, certain mixer, etc), I asked for a double of rum and coke. Before he made the drink, I quickly asked to see what the well rum was, and Tony looked kind of shocked that I would even ask this question. He proceeded to hold up a bottle of Bacardi with a facial expression of "what's wrong with this?" and continued making my drink.

There were only two other people in the bar with us, and Tony got pretty mad when we tried to order our food from the bar. So we had to walk into the arcade room, order all of our chicken fingers (we were craving greasy food), and come back to the bar.

It's an awful bar, but Tony is quite entertaining. The prices are really cheap and this place is right by my apartment, so I'm sure I'll be back some time.

Pickwick is a great place for kids of all ages to relax and unwind. It's very kid friendly and a lot more fun if you are in a big group of friends and family. Pickwick has been there forever; it's an institution.
