Editorial Review for The Borough – by Neha Shah
In Short
Minimalist decor is attractive and inviting for professionals enjoying a well-deserved drink after work or for kicking off a great weekend. Dine barside, at a picnic-like table with a group or outside with a prime view of passersby. The food is creative, tasty, and very reasonably priced for a hip hangout. Start with the Boomerang (spin on spinach dip), Med Bread, oysters, or hushpuppies for comfort food. Burgers, chicken or filet mignon all make good entrees.

I was reading reviews of downtown restaurants, I love the Borough but I know what you mean about the bartenders, I saw Shmitty chase down a customer one night, she literally ran down the street after them. I would have been so angry I would have thought about suing them. The customer had paid the other person at the bar. While I sat at the bar, they're so busy talking back and forth with people they don't know all of what's going on and it shows. Still, the Borough is great. The bartenders just need to be organized and act with class
Pros: See all of the above!
Cons: Bartenders cursing and yelling at people

I'm 36. I do look young but not under 21 young. Liz at The Borough does. She honestly thinks I have a fake ID. I would think after so many visits (I'm there at least every other week) she would finally know me. Last Sunday I was there with a friend, 10 years younger. He didn't get carded- I got quizzed. She also knows a lot of people I know. This past Sunday she pulled and tugged at the plastic. It's honestly getting frustrating; this last time I went I literally was embarrassed because of it. She could be more tactful. Instead I had other people sitting at the bar joking about it. It's a shame because it's a great place, the food is good and the atmosphere is great. I like The Borough but I'm going to have to think hard about going again since I'm tired of the inquisition and the lack of tact.
Pros: Atmosphere, Boisterous, Fun, Good Food, Not too expensive
Cons: Lack of tact Liz has and the schitzo bar tender Schmitty, she may chase you down the sidewalk if you pay another server so be careful
