Saturday night, 8pm, the place wasn't overly crowded (thereby unbearable) so we got in quickly, got seated quickly, got drinks quickly, and were left blessedly alone - the waitstaff didn't hover or check in every 10 minutes.
The background music was cool but not hip, the live musicians were also cool but not hip, very unpretentious and comfortable.
Drink prices are medium but the tap beer AND the bottles are nice and cold.
Try it.
