A Coors was $4.50 and this was during happy hour pricing. We did not find any charm here in spite of the music. There are many better bars

MUST stop in...TINY spot, your butt skims the band as you take 3 steps to the bar w/ 4 stools. Sitting on one of the stools, you can kick the 2 small tables and 4 chairs across from you. The bands change nightly, mostly duos or trios, that's all the stage can accomodate. If it's packed when you walk by,... More

There are only two tables with chairs and a bar with some stools and really nowhere else to stand in there. It's rather uncomfortable unfortunately.

it is no more gross than the other 3 in the block. Whe we looked in there was no music... I'm sure if we stuck around there would be....but we popped into DBA and Spotted Cat instead.

I'm sure it wouldn't be to everyone's taste but that's why I liked it. It's small, and it's got character. Some great men playing guitar and singing while I was there. Just such a nice, chilled atmosphere. It's my kinda place.

Very small dive bar. Great bar service. Small. Live music that changes frequently. Cash only. A handful of seats. Most people are waiting to eat upstairs.
