CityPaper discovers Vienna Inn
The Vienna Inn: Defining the Bar Food Genre – CityPaper
The Young and Hungry blog visits the Vienna Inn and paraphrases Potter Stewart in describing bar food:
I’ll just have to say I know it when I see it – and I’ve seen a lot of it served at the Vienna Inn.
What is funny about the post is that he points out the wait staff is all women seemingly under-25. That is a fry cry from the way it used to be — all women seemingly over-65. The same level of service has been maintained though…
Oddly, Bud bottles, Guinness cans and draft Miller Lite are mentioned, but really its all about the Bud Draft. I have never seen someone drinking a Guinness there. Things change of course.
Heading to the parking lot to smoke, as the author does, is also kind of funny. The ceiling panels in the Inn used to be blackened by 40 years of cigarette smoke before the 2000 renovation.
Lastly, the Safeway that is mentioned has been turned into a Walgreens and the Whole Foods was once a Lowe’s. It is a solid write-up of the Inn, but the writer’s unfamiliarity with Vienna comes through. I’m not knocking that, just trying to clarify.
