This is actually my usual pub. The sort where I know the servers and they know me. Yeah, the other Yelpers are right - it's a weird place. The food is definitely not good (but edible if you're hungry). The crowd is VERY unpredictable.
But I go to play pool. They've got really good tables. The regulars there are often pool leaguers and are really friendly, as it turns out! I've made a few friends I really look forward to seeing and my game has improved quite a bit! The bands on the weekend are hit-and-miss, but I've heard some pretty spectacular bands there so that drowns out the mediocre ones. The crowd is an odd mix of ages, styles, reasons for being there, etc. As weird as it is, The Pig makes for some pretty amusing people-watching. The drinks are always cheap though, and I've seldom had any trouble with service. At the end of the night, the cabs are quick to get there for some reason.
This is a great little pub if you want to live it up a little on the trashy side. Or if you love playing pool.
