Oh man, this place is solid. As far as dive bars go, I'd say it's slightly above most...it's definitely still a dive bar, but not nearly as dive-y as many I have been to. For one, natural light can be seen from inside. That right there SHOULD delete from the category of dive bar...but I'll let it pass ;)
The service was very friendly...probably more friendly than most dive bars. The clientele was great - quite friendly, and clearly just there to enjoy some after-work drinks, rather than many dive bars where the patrons drink as their job. Drinks are poured well, and prices are fair. Parking can get tight at times, but not too bad.
