What used to be a cool bar has basically gone straight downhill. It used to be a good place to hear live music from traveling bands, or local bands getting their start ( think Nirvana in their early years before they got famous ) , real punk bands , and sometimes bands that just plain suck but are entertaining. Not anymore. Now it's what bands are left that have not been ripped off, way too loud for the space, and rude and arrogant bartenders have overwhelmed the awesome ones. On a 'good' night you can step over the people passed out drunk on the floor, weave your way into the smashed up non working bathrooms, and stand as far away from the stage and yell to the person next to you about how loud it is. This is not good loud rock and roll, this is so loud that you are walking away with ear damage. If you are lucky you get to see the sideshow of the owner and his " girlfriend " fighting,punching and screaming at each other. Watch, but don't get too close or you will get dragged into it. Don't bother asking for name brand liquor. " Sorry we're out of that " is on tap every night. That's fine if you are a dedicated well drink lover but not if you like the good stuff. No food , despite the pizza signs, and don't bother coming in looking for the people from the "Dive Bar" of olden days. They have been driven off or found better places to work/drink. There are far better places to get your dive on. Go the extra distance to the double down or bar 702.
