I've been going to Sammys for quite some time now. Warning: it is a dive bar. There are a lot of regulars - mostly service industry people after a certain hour - as being in the industry myself. Drinks are strong, great daily specials, and attentive bartenders. Pool tables aren't the best, the patio is a bit grungy, but it's all about the experience - who cares! If you want bougie and pretentious take yourself to Blue Olive down the road and shut up.
