Lion & Rose Pub

I saw the Spurs win the championship in 2003 in the driver's lounge at Price's Truck Stop in Roswell, NM. Can we have a GTG there?

Any better than Las Cruces or Deming??

My friends and I (who are regulars of the Flying Saucer, I should point out) have given Lion and Rose a try on two seperate occassions and have had equally negative experiences both times.

First off, their beer selection is decent for a bar, but their prices are rediculous. IIRC, they want $5+ for a pint of premium beer (which will run you $4 tops at the Saucer unless you are going for some really premium stuff).

Both times, the service was extremely bad - we'd sit around with empty beer glasses for 10-15 minutes at times before our waitress would come check on us again. Then, when we asked about a beer they had on their menu that I hadn't seen before (even at the Saucer), the waitress was completely unaware of what it was, nor was she interested in finding out for us. Then she proceeded to insult the beers were were drinking (Young's Double Chocolate Stouts... "that stuff is so gross, can't believe you drink that!!!" and not in a funny, sarcastic sort of way).

So... that's why I don't like that place, plus it is very smokey as previously mentioned (despite the fact they sell food... I guess they are exempt from the smoking ordinance?)

Well We had no problems with the smoke in their. In fact we discussed it with the owner. He told us about the filtering system that they were using. It was working great the several times I was there. I am very sensitive to smoke and if it was very bad I am sure it would have bothered me. Our food was excellent, the portions were large and the service was fantastic and friendly every time I have been there. I guess it's hit or miss like any place else. I've been incredibly lucky so far.
