| - I know this is primarily a college bar, but if you are like me and not a college goer, I am here to tell you that you can partake and enjoy this place. But if you want to do so you must follow this one simple rule: Go when there are no college students around. Yes, it is that simple. Granted, you will not be able to come to this place and completely not run into college students, but when it is either winter or summer break you will have minimum run in with those college goers. This way you will be able to have a happy encounter here and not be pushed around.
I have been here years ago when it was elbow to elbow college, but that was when I was younger and in college myself. My god does that feel like an eon ago, but I digress. The warmer months are the better ones to visit, that way you get the whole garage door vibe. The front will be open, garage door style. This allows a seamless flow of the warm weather to come inside. The inside is rather large. You have the general bar area which is circular in nature and gives you ample bar area if that is what you prefer. Behind the bar area is what I refer to as your general area. This area consists of tables of both the high and low variety, room enough to dance if you prefer, and a doorway counter to the pizza place next door that you can go and get food (I find this a pretty amazing add on since they do not have a kitchen). And behind this general area is an adult play area. In this area is where you would find darts and billiards. Also, if you need to use the facilities, this is the area where you would find it.
As far as service, it was pretty amazing. The bartender working was pretty amazing, making sure that we had drinks in front of us and explaining what other drinks consisted of. As far as drinks, there is more than enough here for you to imbibe in. There are specials throughout the week and I am fairly sure these specials have changed much since the years I visited long ago. Jello shots, pudding shots, and pickle vodka standout here. I suggest trying the salted pretzel pudding shot, surprisingly it actually tastes like a salted pretzel. I did not partake in the pickle vodka, but maybe next time.
Things to not: smoking is allowed. Cards are accepted, but they hold them until you are ready to settle your tab (if you want food from next door, they will relinquish your card for a minute or two, but you must hand it back to them, unless you settled that tab). Beer to go if you prefer to continue your night at home. They participate in TapTV, an app game that you can play while in the bar.
