As a New Yorker it had been a LONG time since I had been in a bar where you could smoke. Even as a non smoker, it certainly does bring a different vibe with it, and sometimes it's welcome one. Certainly brought back memories.
Cool crowd, good music, and a great selection of beer that you normally don't find at rando dive bars. Like Young's Double Chocolate, or Sierra Nevada Porter, Great Lakes beers, etc.
The only downside, not a great selection on tap. One thing I love about my dive bars is the taps. This place severely lacked.
Other than that, the bottled beer is the only thing that really stuck out, otherwise it's an average to slightly above average dive.
