| - This is a solid 3-star bar. I am judging this ONLY OFF THE BAR, NOT OFF THE FOOD!!!
The bartender I dealt with, Michael, was pretty cool. I came in here with a coworker around 10pm on a Sunday night (both in town for meetings) and it was a decent experience. The bar was clean. Drinks were a bit pricey, but I tend to tip a little on the high side when I am drinking so I can't knock them here. The atmosphere was a bit lacking. No music, no ESPN or other TV noise... Kinda.. just conversation.
I am a vodka guy so I did not pay attention to much else. They seem to be very heavily loaded on middle shelf, but not many top shelf. I opted for Skyy, can't go wrong there. There was a significant selection of draft beers if that is your thing...
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this place. It isn't overly impressive by any means though. The service was good, but in essence it is the bartenders job to be responsive and cool. The atmosphere is costing the 2 stars Lucky Break is not getting. A giant store front window greets Baseline Road and the makeshift patio smoking section.
If I lived locally, I would probably visit every few weeks, but lacks... je ne sais quoi... Panache. Wow... way too much French for one review!
There are a large number of video games (thought I saw Golden Tee... my weakness), about 4 pool tables, great for groups. Maybe a busier night would be better? Not the bartenders fault, however. Michael rocked....
