| - A less pretentious place you will not find in the Valley. Good assortment of beer on tap (including my current favorites, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale & Widmer Hefeweizen), and every night they have a different beer special for $4 in a giant mug. A giant mug of decent beer, that is--none of this Extra Lite Carbonated American Urine stuff. I think they regularly have a bottled beer special too.
The people-watching is good. On the weekends, expect groups of shrieking ladies in their 40s w/ excellent 1980s hairdos being ogled by middle-aged guys with large, round stomachs.
Other entertainment includes a pool table, table shuffleboard, and many flat-screen TVs w/ sports. Bonus: We ended up there on a Saturday night during karaoke and were treated to a guy in his mid-50s belting out "I wanna fuck you like an animal!" with great enthusiasm. I hadn't expected that when we left the house for the evening.
The food is basic but edible. Apparently they have a 10-inch burger. I find the idea somewhat nauseating, but I suppose it would be money-saver if divided among several people. It's important to line your stomach with a big slab of protein before downing big $4 mugs of beer, one after another.
Service-wise, the bartenders are quite good, but table service is hit and miss, particularly if the place is busy.
