Beer is cheap, free music, cramped, smokey, eccentric, dusty, dirty, friendly staff. It's pretty much everything you'd want in a dive bar.
I'm not sure how they get away with the smoking in here but it's still a safe haven for those who like to light up a cigarette while they cocktail. I've become kinda accustomed to not smelling like a ash tray (call me spoiled) when I'm out and about or else I would have given this place 5 stars.
The bands are awesome as well. It's usually a lot of local people just jamming out and you kinda get the feel like they came and set up right in your living room to play specifically for you.
