Bay Street Bar and Grill

Fast, polite, service, prices are competitive for the neighborhood and the portions were huge. consider sharing.

Taffer ruined this place... had the usual at this place last night; wings were mediocre; they used to be crispy and well tossed. Fries were soggy despite requesting them crispy... like soggy from a to go container soggy. Food was cheap, drinks were cheap so at least that didn't add insult to injury but won't be going back. Presentation was good, and service was great though.

My wife and used to be regulars and came once a week but don't live as close as back then. This is only the second time since Bar Rescue came in and did nothing really 6+ months ago we have been.We came on Tacodog Tuesday, which is a secret BOGO only those who have read the website know about. The dogs used to be these tasty monster 1/2 pounders and came with great fries that made you to excuse some of "lacking" in the place. Our last visit after being "rescued" the hotdogs were just standard dogs and the fries had changed to the most plain tasteless ones on the planet. Yesterday the dogs were now foot long dogs, not as big as the old days, but at least better than our last visit and were Ok considering it was BOGO. But the fries were terrible! Tasteless even after extra salt and weren't even fried enough and neither my wife of I finished them, and we both love fries. The old fries were definitely worth and extra $1 if they had kept.Tuesday also used to have $2 draft genny Cream Ale. Not a super beer, but pretty good for $2. Now it is some type of Rocking House Light, which my wife liked but I thought wasn't worth even the $2. But only a regular or someone who had seen the website would have known about it anyway.Service was "lacking" and I would say worst that the old days. When we came in there was a bar person taking orders, making drinks, bringing food orders out, and cleaning the tables. Then there was a cook and 1 other person we knew as a bartender then the past who we saw do nothing the whole time no matter how backed up the ordering counter got. When we first arrive there were 4 others putting in drink orders and it took 10 minutes to get them done and to us at the bar order counter. We got our drinks, sat, and then went back to the counter and placed our orders in for "Taco" dogs. There was a table of 6 who were there when we first got there and must have ordered food prior and we saw that get brought to the table. Then the another table of 4 food came out, then finally 35 minutes after ordering our food came out. We don't know how much earlier the table of 6 had ordered food, but the time between their getting their food, the table of 4 getting theirs, and us getting ours was well over 45 minutes. I don't how they could handle a crowd.After the Bar Rescue the place was cleaned up and painted a little. Last time we thought it looked better but was a marginal improvement really and just took a little of the dive bar character we liked away. But we were surprised on that visit that no work had been done on the nasty bathrooms. Now these were as expected in the old days for a dive bar but would have thought they would have gotten some attention. This visit they have redone one of the bathrooms and it looked fairly nice, but the toilet was still loose and if not for the air fresher the sewer smell leak would have been pretty bad. I bet if the city inspector ever shows up this place gets a closure.When time to leave it took a good 10+ minutes again to get though the line to the bar counter. Still hadn't seen the old bartender guy help out and do any work other than walk around with a frown on his face. I don't think we will be back.

The burger Was cooked thoroughly and not raw, the server was fantastic. The theme of a sports bar is this place, a lot of sports on the tvs a their is a very nice bar.

Pretty good drinks and someone from our group forgot their bag on the counter. Someone unfortunately took something out of it BUT when we went back the manager and bartender offered several times to comp us with a couple drinks for a mistake we made. Very friendly staff and a good photo op!

Ordered 2 burgers and both were raw. Sent them back to get them cooked more but it looks like the outside was only cooked but still was raw on the inside. Fries were cold, can you could tell they were not made in house. Would not recommend.

On Monday this week I went in with a friend to grab a drink & place a to go order for me and my friends who also work through the jail. I was so unfortunately disappointed. There was literally a pool of water inside this place. It's a bottom floor location so can't be from all this rain. Must be plumbing or something inside leaking. No one was giving no concerns to the safety of their patrons except they placed a sign over it. I wished I would have photographed it. That way you could get the seriousness of this mess. The girl sitting at the bar was smoking a marijuana vape so the whole place reeked of it. I was greeted by a man behind the bar who said "hello". I sat at the table right by the bar because I was in a hurry. My friend went to the bathroom and after she came out & I had no drink in front of me and there's only 5 customers in the building all who had stuff in front of them and seemed as though they needed nothing, she was like "really". I told her "no one's said anything since she was in the restroom." The 2 people working a girl and a guy never brought me a menu nor asked if I wanted a drink while I was there. We both looked at each other in disgust and exited the building. It was sad with so few customers that we were treated like we were a bother. As disgusting as the place was, smell and all, I still wanted some wings. However, they weren't trying to work. There is usually a guy working there who covers the whole place by himself. Not sure what them twos deal was. Hope he's there next time. I'm hoping it was a one time event. The wings are good at this place and not two many options downtown. I'll be looking though. There's got to be another place to grab a drink and wings close by. Glad I only have to work down there.

Kind of depends on what you were expecting.So, it's within a few easy steps from fancy convention hotel on waterfront or the Fl Theater or an expensive steak house. You're staying at this fancy hotel (the Hyatt) searching for a local place to eat and you see the name "bar and grill" and imagine an Applebee's.Well, it's certainly not an Applebee's.Old looking Harley out front with tail pipes cut off was my first clue. Big dude Bartender sort of friendly and attentive, yet well "adorned" other girl bartender not so attentive. Sat at bar and asked for best of their food and it was either the wings or the "Late night studio sesh" hamburger. I chose that and haven't seen this before: A double meat (pretty decent meat) with a soft fried egg on top. So many fries I couldn't eat half of them. Super salty, but good. Burger was very filling and tasty.Had a rum and coke which was decent strength.Picnic style benches and some pool tables with what looked like decent players. Sports TVs all around.Surprisingly clean bathroom!So, for convenient place to downtown, with filling bar food, and you're confident enough to walk in with your eyes pealed, then I'd recommend it.

Good food, nice staff & cheap .75 cent wing night on Wednesday! A nice place to hang out after a long workday.

Food was lukewarm when it arrived. Appetizers arrived with the food instead of first. Service wasn't bad considering the few employees but they were definitely short staffed for a Friday night. Looked nice inside but was to be expected on the first weekend open after bar rescue.
