| - You know, the whole time I lived in Lawrenceville, I had avoided the place because I feared it was overrun with hipsters. Now, a few years later, we went back to hang out with some friends who live just around the corner, and I think I've changed my mind.
The interior is very cool, and it looks like in the summer, they can open the front garage-style window, which I love. Drink prices were not bad, and although the site lists it as 'smoking,' it wasn't overpowering like some of the other smoking bars in the city. There are no ashtrays at the tables, so I honestly didn't know it was smoking until I looked at their page on here.
We tried a couple snacks off the menu, and I was really impressed. We got the 'cauliflower nugs,' which were fried cauliflower and cheese bites served with a curry mayonnaise. They were super hot (kind of the way breaded mushrooms always are), but soooooo good. We also got the chicken fingers, and they let you get one of the wing sauces as a dippy sauce side.
The music was pretty decent while we were there too. Not sure if it was a jukebox, or just what they play there, but we got to enjoy some good new wave over our drinks.
And, if it was teeming with hipsters, I didn't notice. Definitely wish we'd found this place and convinced friends to go there instead of having to hang out with them at Remedy back in the day. This place is a far better Lawrenceville location.
