Under bad new management?

  • No, I would not go back!

I heard great things about this bar but the two times I went recently were terrible. I didn't see any rocker types just sleazy guys I'd never want to talk to. I'm guessing it has new owners so maybe they will figure it out.

Arrive Early or Wear as Little as Possible

I live down the street from this bar and I like its unpretentious vibe. The music is good, (though limited in that the deejay doesn't take requests). Try the Bloodhound, a house specialty with Ruby Vodka and Grapefruit. Most of the bartenders are good, but a couple will completely ignore you in favor of a nicer rack. Oh, and they're also in the habit of saying, "that guy over there can help you." If you can look past the sub-par service, the candlelit tables, PacMan table and pool table are all worth it, not to mention reasonably priced quaffs.

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
