| - To be honest I was a bit skeptical coming here. After reading mixed reviews and asking some regulars, I expected a young-ish crowd, crap food, cheap drinks, and stuffy stinky atmosphere (a la Madison).
I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in thru the unmarked door and entered this small library hideaway.
It is true tho, the food is crap, but the drinks decently priced ($4.75 - 5.75 for a pint, 15.00 for a pitcher)
Stay away from the sangria, because it's just some juice, water and wine. there wasn't even fruit in it! But gave me enough for an asian glow.
We did make a reservation and had to get there by 8. I think it was smart we did that cuz we got a small corner to ourselves.
The place was cozy, but still felt spacious, and was noisy, but not noisy enough to drown out the people at our table talking. And they had some good tune in the background.
My only real complaint was the staff there. They all seemed stoned out of their mind, or incredibly not friendly. The one serving our table, spoke to us in a gruff voice, and really needed to buy some new clothes that fit her. And the bill was difficult to understand, as it was just some numbers scrawled on a piece of paper.
Minus 1 for that, really.
I'd come back. Yes, it's a young crowd, but I barely noticed and I don't have to mingle with them. Too bad they don't serve desserts.
I'd recommend it for people with large groups that just want a place to chill and catch up. There's not much else in the area.
oh and good call on wearing scantily clad attire for upstairs (previous reviewer), it did get very warm!
