| - Nauti Mermaid isn't your typical west 6th bar thanks to its bountiful menu, large booths, and subdued atmosphere.
Yes, the decor is a tad kitschy. What I do like about the space, I can sit at the bar, converse with people standing, and the people walking through the bar won't bump into you. If you want, you can also sit at the booths to eat and drink.
Food-wise, I've only tried a crab cake once, Sure, it's full of imitation crab and breading but they're dirt cheap - less than 2 bucks during Happy Hour, you're just getting what you pay for [and it's a deal].
There's about 8-10 beers on draft, including a few micros (most recently, I had Founders Porter there). Prices, booze-wise are what you'd expect and fair.
Along with dart boards and TVs, there's occasionally free music there.
The clientèle is always interesting here. Here, there's none of the hambones or a hedonistic atmosphere that you'd find at many other booze-slinging places on west 6th. I've been here a handful of times, there always happens to be businessmen visiting town, regulars, Zach Reed and other city councilmen, and the strippers about to start their shift at Christie's (a few blocks away).
