Date - February 5, 2009
Background - A number of new spots have opened up just down the hill from us while we were in London, one of which is the Leary Traveler. Greg looked up their menu online a few weeks back and suggested we give it a try. He enticed me with their "European inspired" menu which sound more upscale than your standard bar food
Atmosphere - Definitely casual but the right mix of energy without having to struggle to hear a conversation. Nothing fancy but I did notice quite a few girl groups which surprised me given it seemed like an unlikely girl hang out...not particularly male either but not a chick spot.
Service - Outstanding especially for a bar - cheerful and helpful. No eye rolling with our high maintenance order and I really appreciated an unrequested glass of water while Greg finished up his last beer.
Drink - Good selection of European wines and beers - about 8 different beers on draft, mainly Belgian with the exception of PBR. They all came in different shaped glasses - another nice European touch.
Food - Great - exceptional for bar food. We split an order of Belgian frites and a Painted Hills steak salad and both were very happy.
Verdict - This will become a Huey regular hang out, especially when it warms up and we can walk down the hill and eat outside with Morgan. Greg is particularly excited about their happy Hour 4-6pm $2 drafts and frites - he told me he'd might build into his weekday routine post daily run.
