I have been here twice: once on a Thursday and once on a Friday. And it was fantastic each time. After about 11pm, it gets ridiculously busy, so if you aren't a crowd person and dislike people rubbing up against you, I suggest otherwise. However, the music has been AWESOME both times (good rock music -- always crowd pleasers) and it has been live both times. Personally, music is pretty much key for me. Alcohol is expensive-- but it is most places down town.
