  The open airiness was just great, I loved it! Plus there was so many TVs to watch from, it was awesome! The bartenders were very cool and very pretty and service was on point.
  As for the food, well I ordered a Philly Cheesesteak Boli with a side order of hot wings,(the hottest ones they have of course) and the lady I sparked-up a conversation with that was sitting next to me at the bar gave me one of her pirogies after I mentioned how good they looked.
  The Philly Cheesesteaks Boli was really good. It was my first time eating this kind of Boli and I was very pleasantly surprised. I liked it a lot. The hot wings ware really good too, but for their hottest wings, it wasn't to hot for, well, for me anyways.
  And as for that sample pierogi the lady next to me gave me, that too was really good if you're into pirogies.
  If you are wonder if this place is worth it or not, I would say give it a try, it's a worth it!

  Bad bad bad service. Never got to order food. Staff watching the front door was talking friends.   Manager was in DJ on his phone. Wait staff walk by me dozens of times . Never got a menu, water or time of day. Guy next me  had his order taken. All he got was a menu. No water , no drink.
  I  got up went to the manager told him the situation.  All he would say is " where , where you seated. "Again, no sorry please take seat and we will take of you. He just acted surprised.  I then left.  He stood out side with three of staff just looking.
  The owner better get control quick or doors to this place will close soon.

  I go to this location because I live nearby. I've gone a few times by myself and a few times with friends. When by myself, I sit at the bar. I've always had good, prompt service despite the fact that I don't drink. These trips are usually lunch or late lunch/early dinner. I like the boneless wings.
  
  With friends, we usually get a table in the back. We always seem to get the same waitress and she's not the friendliest. It may be because we use coupons or have separate tickets, but we make sure to tip really well because of that.
  
  I did go one time and have a hair in my food. Waiter and manager were quick to apologize and offer replacement/refund.

  was assaulted last night by an employee of Aroogas in Downtown Harrisburg, manager Leonard Smith-Manning. It all started over an umbrella. I'd like to start by saying that this place has many rude, vulgar, and unprofessional employees. My friend and I came around 12:30am and since they do not coat check we decided to leave our coats in the car & use an umbrella. Upon arrival we asked a guy at the door if he could put our umbrella somewhere for us and he agreed. Fast-forward end of the night we're leaving the place and I ask where the umbrella is everyone I asked seemed clueless, Leonard was there and said he would go look for it, he told my friend and I to have a seat & that he'd be back. We sat for maybe 5-7 minutes and then other employees came yelling at everyone in the corridor to get out & I said I'm waiting for my umbrella someone went to go get it. The employees then said my friend and I had to get up. I told them we were waiting for someone to get our umbrella & guy 1 started yelling saying "IDC get up get the fuck out!" and naturally I started yelling back "No, we paid $20 a piece to get in and we gave you our stuff and y'all can't even keep track of it?!" Another employee chimed in, also yelling, "Get the fuck out we don't deal with personal property!" Again I'm yelling right back. Then guy 1 proceeded to say "If you don't get up I'll ban you" LOL I said why are you all in our faces go ask those white girls to leave too, tell them to get up. Then another employee yells "Do you want to pay a $750 fine over a $20 umbrella!?" I yelled back "I really don't give a fuck!" But I proceeded to leave cause I don't have time for all that. We're walking around the side of the building and there's Leonard standing with someone (never came back to tell us anything about the umbrella) & he goes "I tried to look for your umbrella." & I responded "Well you didn't try hard enough." & he starts yellin "Oh you wanna get smart?!" At this point I had had it so I said 'Yea I guess I do!?" It gets a little hazy after that but basically I walked back over to him & we exchanged some strong words yelling & I told him "I don't give a fuck suck my dick" & he was like "bitch I'll beat you the fuck up" & I said "I really don't give a fuck" & then he punched me & I fell to the ground & he kept punching me. 1 guy intervened on my behalf asking "why would you hit her?!" & then Leonard starts yelling at the guy like "yo shut the fuck up I'll beat you up too." I held the 1 guy back cause Leonard isn't worth it & I saw a cop car so I knocked on the window to press charges & he came up to the window with me & started talking over me & told them "I'm a manager here & she punched me first" and the female cop said to me "I suggest you leave."
  
  First off, if you see my nails you can see they're quite long, there's no way I can make a fist & honestly I'd rather take the hit(s) than attempt to hit him & have my nails ripped off. Secondly, I'm not dumb I know I'm not stronger than a "grown man" why would I ever try to punch one in the face as the aggressor? -_-
  
  I wonder if I was white if the cop would have listened to me over him but lol that's a whole different issue.
