I've lived 2 blocks from here for 5 years, and I wish I could love this place, but at the end of the day it remains average. Good food, decent beer. Very smoky inside, and a few of the bartenders are borderline rude, and it takes a lot to make me feel offended. All in all, I'll continue to come here occasionally, because of the proximity. However, I wouldn't go out of my way to check this place out.
