Bar 50/20

I stopped into Bar ⁵⁰⁄₂₀ the other night to meet my parents for dinner. This has recently become my stepmother’s favourite place in that part of town. It was ½ price burger and chicken sandwich night, so I was leaning towards one of those. We ordered a plate of their Provolone wedges for the table to go along with our beverages and I was stunned by the size and quality of this starter. The cheese was beautifully coated in a hearty crumb and deep-​fried. It was accompanied by a delicious sauce, which I discovered was homemade.
That quickly put the kibosh on my sandwich order because I had to have something with that incredible red sauce. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan, which came with a generous portion of cavatelli. My stepmother got an order of the meatballs with a breadstick. The meatballs were succulent and didn’t have either a rubbery or mealy texture. Dad got the burger and it was quite substantial and included a generous amount of toppings. My side salad was nothing remarkable, but it was your standard restaurant side salad. I wasn’t there for the salad, so I can gladly report that everything ordered was incredible.

Great food. I work in the area and by far best place for lunch or after dinner drinks and food.

The new menu is fresh and really tasty! Prices are reasonable and atmosphere is friendly. The Italian wedding soup and pizza are delicious!
Really nice change from the chain restaurants. Will definitely be back!

This is a nice neighborhood place to eat. My first time here and the décor nicer than I was expecting. We ordered the fried ravioli, which was very good. The pizza was awesome, not quite NY Style, but thin and tasty, I wish you were able to get a pie bigger than 9″. I had a chicken park sandwich… I expected a chicken breast, but it turned out to be a large chicken tender on a glorified hotdog bun… it was small and underwhelming at $ 8.00, but very good taste. All in all the prices are cheap, but expensive for the quantity. Friendly service, and will return, but just not while I am really hungry.

Good food and Great Company… Daily specials… Fun people… Great service…
Good looking staff…

Bar ⁵⁰⁄₂₀ has become our go to place on Tuesdays! ½ off pizzas on Tuesdays is a fantastic deal, with most of the pizzas priced between $ 8-​$ 9 (the white pizza is our go-​to). The soups are great as well with several people saying it’s the best Italian wedding soup they’ve ever had. Much like the other reviews I’ll say the lobster mac and cheese is the best thing I’ve had here. Cheesy, rich, and huge chunks of lobster makes it worth a try. The bartender/​waitress was super friendly, but it’s easy to see she can become overwhelmed when they are busy.

Great pizza every time! Holds up very well, even the next morning after reheating– still a crispy crust! The Italian wedding soup is homemade and has chunks of chicken in it– perfect if you are not feeling well. A wonderful neighborhood standby for pizza!

Since Bar ⁵⁰⁄₂₀ has opened, it has been enjoyable and fun. I first started going here in early 2012. I got to know the owners, Joe and Jim. Every time I see one of them, they buy me a beer! The service can be slow at times, but only when they are busy.
There are regular bartenders, such as Nann on Friday nights, who know everybody by first name.
The pizza is thin-​crust and usually way too hot to eat right away (I’m not complaining!). But as a suggestion, get the pizza well-​done!

We went to Bar ⁵⁰⁄₂₀ on a Friday. I was a little late joining and my party had already ate when I got there. It seemed there was only one woman serving tables and the bar so the service was a little slow, but we were in no hurry. The server was nice despite her running around. I ordered the Lobster Bisque and a Side Salad with the house dressing. Both were good however the Lobster Bisque was a little spicy. It would be nice if this was mentioned on the menu incase someone can’t take the heat. The beer that I ordered was very poorly poured and the temperature of the bar was a bit too chilly. There was a lot of foam in the glass. Overall, I feel it was a nice little place, but need some work to make it a bit more homey.

Thanks for the amazing food (had chicken fingesr)!!!
