It shocks me that this place hasn't been reviewed yet. It's been a staple in the Mill/College/Baseline community for a long time now.\n\nBSP is one of those places where you go, you like it, but you realize something is missing and you just don't know what it is.\n\nI still don't know what it is and I first went there in 2002.\n\nThe inside is very nice, tvs are situated nicely around the tables, food is okay and there is outdoor seating. I never find myself going here to watch games though or even to go grab a meal.\n\nI was here for an ALCS game in 2004 and it was the most packed I've ever seen it. I haven't seen it that way since, not even for football.\n\nNow I go in on a very irregular basis because various softball teams I played on have had their post games here. \n\nI notice on weeknights it has somewhat of a Cheers atmosphere. Regulars sitting up at the bar who know waitresses (who also double as bartenders) by name. \n\nI think the inside might just be too luxurious though. Furniture looks more like a restaurant and I think the average sports fan (and this is a sports bar) likes more of a dive bar feel.\n\nI couldn't understand why Doc & Eddy's, which is right up the road, gets far more patrons for sporting events. It's a more divey bar with similar food. I know it's got more to do with it than having pool tables and air hockey.\n\nThe Woodshed is also walking distance to the west. \n\nI think BSP just toes the line between casual restaurant and sports bar and that might be what's hurting it. Looks like a place you might take your girlfriend for dinner rather than your buddies for a playoff game.\n\nIt's so well situated between Kiwanis park and numerous apartment complexes that it should be far more popular during game times. \n\nI've just been in far too many times when people at the bar exceed people at tables. \n\nI still can't put my finger on it...
