Lord Hobo Doesn't Live Up to it's Name

With a name like Lord Hobo you'd think the bar would offer affordable beer and food.  Not the case with Lord Hobo.  JO and I went here last week when we were feeling a bit lazy and skipped the rock gym.

We got two seats at one of the communal tables in the back and started perusing the beer menu.  At one point I had to ask JO if I was looking at the wine menu.  The cheapest beer was $8 and there were lots of beers listed for $15 or more.  I grabbed and $8 Allagash White and started looking at the food menu.  The food was equally high priced and rather fancy for a bar.  Everything we got was tasty and well prepared but way too expensive.  

A few new spaces have opened up in our neighborhood and they would be perfect for restaurants.  I'm really hopeful that we'll get some places that skew more Parlor Sports and less Lord Hobo.  If I'm going to pay Lord Hobo prices I would much rather do it at Puritan and Company on a delicious, farm to table meal than souped up bar food.
