After a bike ride to Green, my friends live right near Time Out and I had yet to get over here. They led me through a parking lot (why am I still shocked when 'cool' places are in strip malls?) and we managed to find room on the gated area outside to lock our bikes (there were like 12 bikes already attached).
After getting my 2.50 miller high life in the bottle and settling into a soft brown booth, I got to assess the place. There are a lot of pool tables, but i SUCK at pool and would feel nervous playing here. There was a decent crowd here for a Monday night-the bar was lined, all the booths were taken and some of the small round tables with high stools were taken. Def. tats and casual wear, but it seemed like a real 'regulars' bar instead of much of a scene, per se.
I esp. like the ladies bathroom-with the wicker seat with the high back facing the can-WTF? Very surreal. They had some arcade games in the back and I spotted a dart board in the front of the bar behind some hanging stained glass panel (yeah, its weird explaining it-you just kinda have to be there, you know?) so I have got to get my dart set on. Esp. since its located next to the ginourmous juke box that inexplicibly has a plush couch and wooden chair right in front of it (?!?!).
It reminds me of a rural bar, to be honest, like something you would find off the highway in PA-and thats not a bad thing. I can see how this place gets packed on a weekend.
