Taste of Dahntahn-CLOSED

This one might be stepping over the line and breaking our "more bar than restaurant" rule, but we're finding that distinction hard to make. The rule has been "Hostess=Restaurant", but we may need to refine it. Taste of Dahntahn has a big horseshoe bar right as you walk in, but the next two rooms are filled with booths, tables, and high tops. So, it's two-thirds restaurant and one-third bar, spatially.

Regardless, we didn't eat there, we drank at the bar. So, let's get to it. The bar is really brightly lit and really red. They seem to be going for a 50's diner look, but the bar is dominated by a 20's flapper mural. Someone has obviously dumped a ton of money into this place.  Everything is super clean and brand spanking new. Their menus are backlit. For real. The bathrooms, even though they're a trek to get to, are some of the nicest we've ever seen.

But, man, that's about all it's got going for it as a bar. They have a good selection of beer and drinks, but the whole bar area reeks of dish washing chemicals. And we've never seen such a paltry shot poured in our lives. That, really, is all we have to say about that.
