I adore this place! Kind of reminds me of the bars I frequented as a kid (no, not to drink). The staff is always super friendly and the vibe is casual (think meeting your slightly-rough-around-the-edges neighbors for a drink, as opposed to your work buddies). The beer is familiar, and ramen and slim jims are about as fancy as they get for bar food. Never too crowded and always worth stopping in :)
