frick this place...its OK but the bartenders are arrogant pricks....at least one of em.


cool location, cheap drinks, but one a-hole ruined it for me.

I asked if they had jager or rumplemintz shots and he told me "this is an adult bar"....it took everything in me.

alright dude, all he had to say was "we dont have it"...not give me some smug arse remark about how much more of a child I am than him or anyone in his bridge lounge...

for all he knew, I could be back from my second tour of Afghanistan with two kids at home with the babysitter.

I'm not going to take that shite from a barmaid.

Pros:
Good looking building on the inside
dog friendly
good drinks

cons:
location probably requires a drive
staff thinks highly of themselves
when crowded the nerdy douche factor skyrockets

I don't think they serve food.

Haven't been in a while, but don't ever remember seeing it.

Must be outside sourced.

It's an okay place -- especially for recent college grads. I remember it being a skid row bar, though.

not anymore.

now it's a mix of hipsters (often times film crew), local yuppies, and some other randoms.

Actually they used to serve some pretty tasty small plates. Usually in late afteroon and early evening. Even had a little menu with 5 or so items on it. Been awhile since I've been there so I don't know if they still do. The young woman who was cooking in the back was pretty hot, though.

I know what it is now, and what it was everytime I ever went into the place.

I never went there when it was actually a skidrow joint. I did go in the Rendezvous once when it was, though.
