And breeeaaathe in (a little)....
The (woody) smell! Huzzah!
It's hip, it's unmarked, it's lined with real wood, there's forgiving lighting, and a long, narrow arrangement of high tops, booths and upholstered seating... you may just have stumbled through a wrinkle into some mid-western time and space is all.
We've had good service, and okay service. We've been when it's quietly populated, and full of busloads of revelers or scads of out-of-town bachelors. You just never know what you'll find behind that fire door off the parking lot. Look for the candles.
Come ready to lounge. Order a signature cocktail, or ask the bartender to make something up. Don't let your buddy have that fifteenth rum and coke. Remember the bathrooms are very small. And become a bookie with a little known quote or a sketch as you pay your tab.
You'll be glad you came!
