The PVL is a straight up dive bar . The patrons were cool. The staff was great- super nice ! They had something called a pickle shot made with pickle juice ..didn't try it this time , but next time I will . Drinks were cheap. It has a couple of pool tables and everything else you'd expect from a local hangout. I went to see a few bands play - they basically set up in the corner to the left of the entrance. There is no stage but somehow it works . It's a small place so you'll never get a bad view of the band .
There aren't a lot of spaces for parking- I just parked across the street and it was fine . I'd definitely go back for a few drinks and some bands !
