This bar was my local before I transplanted myself in NYC. Simply put, this is a unpretentious no-nonsense kind of bar where people go to drink with their friends (and not necessarily make new ones, which can a plus). The jukebox, pool tables (do not put drinks on the tables. period.) and old school video games (for a quarter!) are sideshows to the main attraction: socializing with your friends at the bar. Try the Esme; it's a drink named for the owner's daughter.
Pros: Value, Video games, Service
Cons: Dark, Can be smokey
