For months on the way to my gym, I saw the promise of a new sports bar. The large sign that stated Stone Elephant would soon open was exciting beyond belief … and I hate to say that it was mostly because I loved the name. So I ventured in.
The food is pretty darn good and the drinks were alright. I’d made the decision to give up fried food but seeing the goodies on the menu, I couldn’t pass trying some of the dee fried goodness up. Definitely try the chips; they are made in-house and delicious. Sadly, we didn’t venture into any drinks other than wells because … well, it’s a sports bar. Make sure you specify what drink had when you reorder because, while the waitresses are incredibly nice and efficient, they are spread thin.
There were quite a few happy hour-goers of all types and ages (some are pretty darn attractive at that). To tell the truth, I wouldn’t have minded meeting a few of my fellow drinkers at Stone Elephant – it seems a whole different group than I have seen around; some were older, some were younger, some had tattoos, some had suits, and some were suited up and bald.
The decor was simple and quirky; there were spots in the walls, ceiling, and bar where we were told the stone elephant ran amuck. There is a stage for live music, plenty of televisions, and a pool table in the back. Overall, a typical sports bar with an atypical location and plenty of fun to be had.
Drink strength: 2.86 (sometimes a girl can’t go with a multiple of .5!)
