I know this place gets tons of great reviews, but knowing that, I was disappointed. My drink was great - but the experience was just a little awkward. The space tries to be cozy but is just a little dark and dingy, and ...awkward. Like where are you supposed to stand as you order and wait for your drink downstairs? (Because the downstairs bar is far less crowded than the upstairs bar). Once the seats and tables fill up there just isn't any place to stand, so the next best option is to leave. And go to grampa's next door.
