Editorial Review for Varsity Ale House – by Kira Krauss

In Short
Plasma-screen TVs, stadium seating and a colossal menu win over sports fans in this Bull City establishment. From the seemingly endless menu, try the Bleu Max, a half-pound burger stuffed with blue cheese and topped with sauteed onions. Eight flavors of wings include Hawaiian (pineapple coconut) and Mexicali (three chili). Those watching their carbs will find lots of Atkins-friendly options.

User Reviews for Varsity Ale House

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Do not go here, I used to really like this resturant. The truth is it really, really terrible the food is awful tasting, that is if you ever get to eat. Because the staff are such idiots they either forget to put in your oder or they forget to cook it who knows. I try to patron local establishments as often as possible. Its sad when this is the best that Durham has to offer in a local sports bar, I guess its Chapel Hill or Corp. from here on out. Note to Management test your staff for illecit substances , administer some sort of test to make sure they are capable of performing basic server duties like bringing flatware and condiments.

If you're just looking for a place to have drinks this is the place but if you're looking for a dining experience don't bother. On a tuesday night they were out of 8oz Sirloin and wouldn't subsitute a larger cut for the same price. Server forgot our drink orders and then ended up getting our entire entre wrong. It was a mess and she didn't even offer any compensation for all of her mistakes. It was crazy and I wouldn't ever go back for anything more than hanging out and drinking a few.

Pros: Tons of setting, Lots of TV's

Cons: wait staff forgetful
