I always get great service and great drinks here. Yes, some of the drinks are pricey, but worth it. If you want a cheap drink, order a crappy Budweiser. But if you want good, craft (and local!) beer, you are going to have to pay a little more.
I always order food from Eddie Cerino's Casual Italian next door and service is great. They bring it right over to you.
I've never had bad service at this bar and I always have a nice, relaxing time.
