This is definitely the closest to an American dive bar work hang out place you can get. I went here with a friend and some of her co workers around 6 to grab some dinner and drinks. The waitresses seem non-chalant and uncaring like most American bars back home. I can't tell if this is the shtick or just because we had a bad waitress. The drinks were fast, and so was the food, but it was just alright. I ordered the half plate nachos (which looks like a full order) and they upcharge for things like chicken, guac and sour cream (hey that's cool) and was totally worth the price. The drinks were average price as well, but definitely provided a huge selection unlike most bars I've seen. The environment you can tell is trying to be ironic with all of their crazy stuff on the walls (like a Fridays in the states) and has a sort of dive bar feel with mis-matched furniture. There isn't much room and everyone is definitely struggling to walk around to get to the bathroom, I was even hit with the bathroom door to my back because of how cramped the place was. Our neighbors table kept slamming into my back as well, due to the space constraints... not sure that's very fire code friendly. Additionally, there were bums pan handling us while we were eating. I have never seen that before. Luckily the, im assuming, manager rushed him out. I heard there was an upstairs but it wasn't the time or place to go exploring. It was super loud and difficult to keep yelling over each other so we decided to split.
I would try this on a brunch day if I lived close to here.
