Coyote Ugly was hideous... I went there once, in an effort not to be narrow-minded, and it was awful, awful. Lots of lonely aging frat-boy types staring with frog eyes at the hawt girls on the bar, as if one of them might go home with them -- which of course would never happen.
One time I sat at the bar at Fado on an off night and ordered the Indian curry chicken. Asked the bartender what he thought of it, and he said, in a thick accent, "I think it tastes like shite, but people seem to like it." But it was OK.
