My wife and I used to live around the corner from this bar and it was our FAVORITE place to take friends for a drink, order appetizers, and people-watch. We moved up north a year ago and recently returned...what a difference! There was no music, the bar was practically empty, and our group was very uncomfortable sitting at the bar--we were stared at the whole time by a loud group of diners in the other room! Where did the social scene go? Oh well, the drinks were still good and we have a new favorite hangout up north. But we miss the old Silver Lake!
Pros: great drinks in a cool room
Cons: too quiet, hard to socialize
