Relaxing at The Rumpus Room

After a long day of work my guy and I decided to head to The Rumpus room based on my roommates recommendation. As soon as we got inside I knew this place was just a casual good time. It was dark and decorated like a garage converted into a bachelor pad from the 70s. A guy came by and told us to sit anywhere but the only space left was a old couch by the windows. We immediately noticed under the coffee table in front of us were a bunch of cool games and toys ranging from jenga to an old etch-a-sketch with the coolest picture ever.



We got around to ordering from the decently sized menu. Most of it was comfort food like Mac and cheese, sandwiches and pasta. There was even a create your own hot dog section with a bunch of toppings. One interesting option was the deep fried pickle. We decided to get honey garlic wings and the LGBT (lettuce guag bacon and tomato I believe). I also scanned the drinks menu and found a nice choice of cocktails, wines and beer. I settled on one of my favorites, the Phillips Blue Buck beer. The highlight of the drinks was probably the famous pickleback. Its a shot of Jameson with a chaser of pickle juice. Sure sounds like they have a thing for pickles doesn't it?

Our food arrived quickly and I found out that the wings were boneless, which was slightly weird but they turned out to still be juice and tasty. They were more like chicken fingering the end. The fries that came with the sandwich were amazing, I'm not to sure if they were potatoes or not but they were better than the average house fries.

After our mains were decided to get dessert and went for the deep fried Reese peanut butter cups. It arrived with three pieces and a glob of ice cream served in a bucket. Super sweet, filling and painfully delicious.

It's a great little place to go for a relaxed atmosphere and not overly complicated. I'd definitely like to go back and try their bunch.
