Used to be awesome before it became known
by HarryNut at Citysearch
This bar is still great, but it's packed on Friday and Saturday nights with hipsters and fancy dressing young professionals. What happened to the t-shirt and jeans crowd? Nevertheless, you can't beat the BBQ nachos and the $6 pitcher and $2 pint PBRs. Good place to try for lunch, weekdays or after midnight on Friday and Saturday.

Hmmm
by B8M7 at Citysearch
My husband and I used to frequent this restaurant once a week and sit outside with our dog. We liked it so much we had the rehearsal dinner for our wedding here a couple of years ago. We like the food and although the service has always been slow, slow, slow the staff used to be friendly. Now when we go inside we cannot hear each other over the loud, loud music. The space does not have good acoustics so the music bounces all around making everyone shout to be heard. We have asked for the music to be turned down a bit but it never makes a difference. We have stopped going as often and I do miss it. I just wish they management would realize that not all patrons enjoy the loud atmosphere and would enjoy actually being able to sit and have a conversation over dinner without shouting. I would like to recommend the chicken salad wrap with chips, the chicken fried chicken and the shrimp burger.
- Pros: Food, outside seating, location
- Cons: slow staff, loud music

My Favorite, Still.
by Cbrooke at Citysearch
I moved here from Michigan about five years ago and this bar still remains my favorite. Within these five years, I have yet to receive a bland or common meal. The changing menu is unique which leaves desire; consequently, returning business is inevitable. Furthermore, the beer selection is something amazing in itself.
It is understandable why some types of people would not like this bar, but diversity is yet another reason why I love it. Yes, some people may look different, but it's all in how one carries one's self; be cool, get cool.
- Pros: laid back atmosphere; excellent food
- Cons: sometimes too busy for my fav. seats up at the bar.
