Republic (Restaurant)

Good Morning! The date is officially January 4th, 2012 WOW PAY DAY! also, it was Kiril's birthday yesterday shout out to the birthday boy we're going to do it up this weekend :) Restaurant.com has great deals Andrey bought about 5 coupons worth $25 but it only cost him $4 to purchase them. One of the coupons he bought was for Republic. Republic is on broad street near the VCU campus, I never wandered to the Republic because it always looked creepy. My mind still hasn't changed months later because as soon as we pulled up I said "This is kind of creepy", but to each is own others may think differently! When we first step into the restaurant we are greeted by the bartender who lets us know half of the restaurant is smoking and the other half is non smoking. The bars on each sides of the restaurant are large enough to seat around 25 people. There are wooden booths/tables on either sides of the restaurant. The restaurant had many televisions about 4 on each side 46'. The Republic would be a good place to watch a sports game or to get Nachos! Their menu was an all American menu, cheesburgers, sandwhiches, nachos, authentically American haha. If you're not watching what you eat I would suggest Nachos, they are huge and can serve as a meal be aware. The people next to us ordered the Nachos and I haven't seen any that looked so good in a long time. Andrey ordered a philly sub, and artichoke dip for appetizer, I ordered the Mediterranean salad. All was good no surprises complaints or amazingness. All in all Republic is a nice spot to grab a bit, talk with friends, smoke, get a drink, and eat food that is expected of any local restaurant/bar.
