Roland's has a nice, outdoor, terrace-style seating area on the second floor. (This faces north, so it would be shaded during the day.) Roland's also has a generous beer selection of very good stuff (relatively mainstream: think Smithwick's, Hoeegarden, etc).
What Roland's does not have is a friendly bartender. Nor table service. Nor any substantial patrons at 11pm on a Saturday. Which can be a blessing and a curse, really (the last one, not the first two; the first two are definitely just a curse).
