I am conflicted with this review. I like the laid back atmosphere, a place that anyone can just hangout. There are a couple of big sofas and tons of books. There is a small craft draft beer selection, but there is a pretty good craft bottle selection if you are looking for more selection.
The negative is the general feeling of being worn out. It wasn't that the place felt dirty, just worn out. I know its hard for a place to keep its character and heritage after being spruced up, but I think they could do a little that would make a big impact.
Having said that, I do see myself spend more time here. The place reminds me of an old university sweatshirt - a bit threadbare and torn, but the most comfortable thing you can wear.
