点评:Beale Street is a tourist-trap area saturated with "blues bars" and take-away beverage counters, so one can carry a buzz bevy up and down the street while deciding where to land next.
We read about Ghost River being at the "quiet end" of Beale Street, and given the decibel level of cacophony in the heart of the district, it seemed like a good idea to head over.
While the place was busy as heck, we still got good service, and tasty beers. The HILIGHT of the (early evening) visit was the excellent three-piece "cover band" that provided great musicianship & entertaining presentation. They did a great job, and were not TOO loud for the size of venue.
The LOW point (which actually made our visit all the more memorable) was sharing the "Three Chicken Sliders with Side of Fries" meal. It turns out that the "sliders" comprise a chicken nugget on a small bun - think "Barbie-sized King's Hawaiian Roll" - with about a dozen French fries. The BBQ sauces that accompanied the "sliders" were very good - but $11.50 for a "three chicken nugget serving with baby buns and a few fries" was a comical (yet tasty-enough) twist on Tourist Pricing.
That said, the beer quality and fun ambience would bring me back again - but I might skip the sliders. ;-)
翻译:比尔街是一个旅游陷阱区,到处都是“蓝调酒吧”和外卖饮料柜台,因此人们可以带着一群热闹的人在街上走来走去,同时决定下一步去哪里。
我们读到幽灵河位于比尔街的“安静的尽头”,考虑到该地区中心的噪音分贝水平,前往似乎是个好主意。
虽然这个地方很忙,但我们仍然得到了良好的服务和美味的啤酒。这次(傍晚)访问的亮点是出色的三人“翻唱乐队”,他们提供了出色的音乐才能和有趣的表演。他们做得很好,而且对于场地的大小来说,声音并不算太大。
最低点(实际上让我们的访问更加难忘)是分享“三只鸡肉滑块配薯条”餐。事实证明,“滑块”包括一个小面包上的鸡块 - 想想“芭比大小的夏威夷国王卷” - 和大约一打炸薯条。伴随着“滑块”的烧烤酱非常好,但是 11.5 美元的“三块鸡块配小面包和一些薯条”对于游客定价来说是一个滑稽的(但足够美味)的扭曲。
也就是说,啤酒的品质和有趣的氛围会让我再次回来 - 但我可能会跳过滑块。 ;-)
