Business Description from the Web
Serious drinkers will be glad to know you can get a bucket of Bud to keep you company while you play a game of table-top hockey, shoot a round of pool or spend endless hours driving a race car on a video game machine. The steer skull and road sign decor is not to be belittled. Shut up and drink your tap beer.
A sign behind the bar states "No sissies," and they mean it. It's Animal House meets The Texas Chain Saw Massacre : The décor consists of giant inflatable beer bottles and mousetraps to hold your bills on the bar. A wall-sized video projection shows extreme sports, among other events. Mondays from 5pm until 7pm, the bartender will flip you for your drink, and Thursdays you can get a "Bucket of...

The Scene If the Marquis de Sade had been commissioned to design an urban redneck bar, he just might have come up with something like this. How else to account for the working mousetraps nailed to the bar-top at regular intervals? Or a machine that offers you the chance to snatch a live lobster with one of those moveable-claw contraptions you find in side-shows and amusement...

Retired firemen and aspiring alcoholics crowd this Chuck E. Cheese for the paunchy set. Grab-the-lobster mechanical claw to satisfy your masochistic streak. Pool tables hosting geeky shark leagues and foosball recapturing basement memories. Cheap and yummy bar eats, unsurprisingly grease-laden. No sissies allowed. So they say.

I went to Dakota Roadhouse after the NY Yankee parade to meet friends of mine. Clearly, everyone had been drinking since about 11AM. A friend of mine went outside to have a smoke, and upon walking back in, the Owner who is an old, grey-haired, overaggressive dude says my friend can't come in because "He was too drunk." He wasn't. He was drunk, but definitely showed no signs of being "too...

- the dakota has great burgers and the foosball table is top notch, albeit not well lit - that's it for the upside which is still enough to warrant 4 stars.
- happy hour specials are spotty.. they might not have the beer you like.. the bartenders look good but remember, they're there to make money.. and don't bring kids there as a mishmash video filled with offbeat 'pron' and gross out video...

The empanandas contain some sort of laxative. If you must have the empandas make sure you have access to a nearby bathroom and don't count on using the toilet there.
If you choose to attend the Dakota Roadhouse for happy hour please make sure to empty your bowels before stepping foot in this establishment. The toilet has recently been replaced by a orange cone that stands about two feet tall.
