My real complaint with this place is the set up. Its organized far too much like a restaurant and not enough like a pub, which sucks when all you want to do is cozy up to the bar and all the stools are taken. The beer selection is fine, pretty typical, though i haven't dabbled in their scotches. Just not the type of place I'd want to drink fine scotch, anyway.
Their smoking patio is cool if you get a sizable group together and you can complain about how dead downtown is and be irritated by the construction of Monroe 44.
I think once their highrise neighbor is established this bar will get much more lively and won't have that dreaded "am I the only person drinking in downtown" feeling that i always get there.
As mentioned on this page, its a good spot to grab and drink and go but not really a place to blow it out all night.
