Currently my favorite spot Downtown. Downstairs has a bit more of an upscale feel. Upstairs is more relaxed. The view upstairs is great. If it gets too cold, they bring out the heat lamps to keep you warm. A good mix of people. Not so trendy and hipster that I feel out of place, but not ratchet like Fremont West.
Drinks are a bit expensive, but not terribly expensive. Cheaper than clubbing on the Strip, though more expensive than a usual locals spot. I'm not exactly sure what time they start charging cover, but I've never had to pay. Our usual plan is get to Downtown a bit early, get our reentry stamps from all the Fremont East bars we predict to visit, then have the freedom to barhop without paying cover later in the evening. Boozing on a budget.
