The same question arises every game
day: where is a good place to go eat some wings, drink some beer, and watch the
game? I have a suggestion I thought I’d
never say –
Three Brothers Pizza in Greenbelt.
Yes, you read that right. I would
have never guessed it but luckily a coworker frequents the place and invited me
to an after-work drinking and venting session.
I was skeptical of his venue, but I
consented to make an appearance. He told
me to go past the pizza area to the bar in the back. I never realized there was a bar in the back
and was quite surprised by what I saw.
Not only does this have standard bar fare, also a nice long bar equipped
with comfortable stools and large screen televisions and to my complete shock:
a fully stocked raw bar! You can get all
sorts of shellfish in the raw or steamed!
I have to admit, I was floored.
As soon as I regained my
facilities, I saddled up to the bar and ordered the item that sets my standard
for all bar food: wings. At ten for
$7.99, they have a favorable dollar:wing ratio and were cooked perfectly – crispy
and juicy, however, they do not offer a variety of flavors. Then came the special treat: apparently my
coworker is quite the regular and knows of certain off menu items. On Fridays, the bartender/cook usually has
some fresh crab and will make you a crab cake upon request. The cake was sizable, and the crab was very
plentiful, fresh, and not overloaded with mayo and filler. The only thing missing was a dash of
seasoning. The crab itself was as good
as it gets, but I felt it needed a dash of something to top it all off.
Will I go back? Yeah, but not on my own or with Ms.
Classy. This is my happy hour with
coworkers spot until further notice. But I do assure you, my faithful reader (hi mom!) that I will be back. I
will also skip the wings and crab cake and try some of their raw bar
selections.
