Preview Bar and Burgers

Bally’s steakhouse, The Reserve, was renovated about two years ago and a bar, Preview, was added outside in the lobby.  The bar is usually empty, but it’s a nice quiet place to grab a drink with little disturbance.

Recently Preview added a burger bar and I decided to check it out.  I started with an excellent glass of wine.  I believe it was a 2005 Malbec.

I decided to get a simple cheeseburger with cheddar on brioche for the burger.  I like to keep it simple when trying out a burger joint.  If anything, I’ll add bacon. The burger came with a side of fries in a little basket.

I don’t have high expectations for food at Bally’s as I’ve never been wowed by any of their restaurants.  However, I was happily surprised with my burger at the Preview Bar.  Even though the burger came out a bit faster than I expected, it was excellent.  The brioche bun was really good and even the fries were good.  I’m not much of a fry guy, but I finished everything on the plate and even ordered a second glass of wine for dessert.

The Preview Bar doesn’t open until Happy Hour where they have half priced drinks and appetizers.  I will definitely make a return trip and would recommend this to anyone looking for a quick drink and bite to eat.  If you’re not inclined to eat dinner at a bar, there are tables.
