    Pros
    Fries are quite yummy. Sat at a big table away from the bar for a large group dinner after a reading. We did not have reservations but there was plenty of room for us which was great. Staff seemed friendly and there seemed to be a lot of folks from the neighborhood!

    Cons
    The decor is functional

    I'm sure I'll check it out again at some point, but it's not a "must". Fairly unremarkable though admittedly I've only been once!

    I love New Wave, great beer, great people who work and go there, and great food. It's only 2 blocks from my house and a great hang out at any time of the day whether you're going for one drink or handing out for the day.

    Cons
    No cons at all!

    Pros
    New wave's a really good place for great food, drinks and sports. Bar's pretty big and has seating on both sides, bartender's really cool too. They have table seating in the back, side and outdoors. 1st time I came here I knew it was a cool place when they brought out a water bowl for my friend's dog.

    Cons
    No cons. I do remember when they did have karaoke. Please don't bring it back, it was annoying, thanks.

    Other
    Yes, new waves cool! Menu's pretty extensive so really can't go wrong, whether its a salad, burger, or cheesesteak. They have a few TVs so it's also a great place to catch games. Quizzo on mondays, pool table and dart board!

    I was surprised by the food. I was expecting boring pub food but they actually offer some good choices that are tasty too.

    Cons
    none

    Other
    I would say this is a good place for drinking or eating. It's far enough from south st that you don't get the loud masses of people.
