| - Went here at 5:30 recently at the suggestion of a downtown hipster friend. Place was small and packed, but had great selection of wines and beers that made the people I was with happy. Personally I'm a cocktail guy, so the beer and wine only deal is always a letdown for me. Service was passable, the place was small but well finished and is a small house divided into a couple of rooms. This is a place trhat you should be prepared to stand at the enitire time, girls with us in heels felt free to bith about that. The front room seats 4 on opposite sides on the room, the ante room seated about three and the back room had a table for eight, I think. That's it, unless you are lucky enough to grab one of the six or eight precious stools at the bar. Interesting mix of professionals and record store employees (pierced and tattaed and etc. and some reasonable eye candy from both camps) who were probably 4 hours early to see some shoe gazers play an off-tune set at Modified. The place has no sign or address number, unless you count the one molded into the planter in the front yard that is invisible from the street, so look carefully while circling the block you'll see it the fourth time around or so. Nice little patio out front but you can't eat, drink, or smoke there or at the one out back - WTF? I see this as a low profile pick-up joint at the right time of day where guys in suits will quietly eye over the hill punk rock girls. Which I like.
