dollar rental car company I have to admit.  I showed up at this place with a little bit of an agenda.  It was a Saturday.  We are college football dollar rental car company fans.  There were several big games that were getting ready to start.  SO, was I looking to watch a bit of a game in a hotel bar even though I swore that I would never go out in search of a sporting event at a hotel bar?  Yes, yes I did.  Why?  Easy, the answer is two fold.
1. Sometimes people will want to know if the place they're shelling out big bucks for has an appropriate social setting to watch a game.  Whether it's bad weather or just sheer choice, you may not want to go out in search of an alternative location just to grab a half or a period.
2. My crew and I wanted to watch some football.  So there you have it.  But don't worry, this review will most certainly not revolve around whether dollar rental car company or not this is a good place to watch a game, but I'll get to that.  I think it's important to point out that lighting is very big to me.  I hope it is to you too.  Lighting plays such an important role in establishing the mood of a space.
Therefore, I want to mention that the mood of 676 changes as the natural light of the day goes by.  When we arrived, there was still natural light pouring through the windows.  As the sun goes down, the mood becomes more relaxed, comfortable.  It looks less like a conference dollar rental car company room and more like a bar.
I have to give it up to the staff of this place.  Talk about cool and accommodating dollar rental car company as hell.  At one point, we moved down the bar a couple of seats to get a better view of the TV.  I hadn't dollar rental car company grabbed all of our bags yet and as Kevin, the bar manager walked by, he asked if they were ours because if not, he was going to put them behind the bar.  He said it made him nervous just sitting there where they could get snatched up.  While Kevin was here, I did have a question for him.  Earlier on in the evening, we had notice dollar rental car company a little dollar rental car company door to a room that appeared to be a coat check.  What a nice touch we thought.  So I asked if it was indeed a coat check and he said no, it was just a door to one of their little offices.  He asked though if we were looking to check our coats because he said he would be happy to put them back there if that would make us more comfortable.  Stud.  We respectfully said that wouldn't be necessary but he mentioned that they occasionally do that for patrons if they inquire about it.  I love that.  That isn't the kind of trustworthy customer service you tend to find in such a large city, you know?  I would expect dollar rental car company that back in Omaha, but not here.  Again, what a nice touch.
OK, back to the basics.  Per usual, dollar rental car company I ordered a glass of red and the boys ordered some drafts.  The beer showed up in Mason jars.  Not what you'd expect.  But who doesn't enjoy sipping from this non-traditional mug of southern charm?  If you tell me you don't, go away…I don't believe you.  It's just cool.  The pricing is as expected dollar rental car company – typical Hotel bar.  We were a bit hungry and decided to order something off the menu.  Then something else.  Then something else.  And, why not just try one more thing.  Alright, we started off with some truffle popcorn, superb.  It was dusted with some Wisconsin parm and chives… something else but I can't remember.  Freaking awesome!  Then we had a marg flatbread.  THEN, we had the smore pudding.  Ever had homemade chocolate pudding?  I sure haven't but man, this stuff was on hit.  I'm not going to get any deeper on the food, but needless to say we were happy with everything we ordered. So what was the atmosphere like?  Well it got better as the night progressed.  There were definitely travelers in there, dollar rental car company but there also appeared to be a decent after work crowd.  Which was weird considering it was Saturday.  Hmmm, maybe I judged them wrong.  None the less, the crowd was nice and diverse.
As for seating dollar rental car company arrangements, it's kinda bizarre.  The bar area itself is a rather large size, yet the amount of seating dollar rental car company is deceptively small. dollar rental car company  The bar chairs are large, leather and cozy.  If the chairs dollar rental car company were smaller they would totally dollar rental car company have room for at least 10 more at the bar.  There are also some high tops behind the bar area… I'd say probably about 5-7, each with room for 4+.  You'd just have to fish out additional stools.  Who knows, with them being so accommodating, I wouldn't be surprised if they hauled out a few extras, if you asked.
In a nutshell, the 676 may not look like the classiest hotel bar out there, but don't let lackluster decor fool you.  The people there were some of the more genuine class acts I've encountered so far.  Thanks guys.  That is what will definitely keep people coming dollar rental car company back to your bar.  Cheers!
