They usually have Spaten Optimator on tap, which is one of my definitions of civilization . . . They also have an excellent selection of bottled beers.
I live within walking distance of the Mid Town Pub, so I'm in here a lot. I'm usually in during the week, so it's less crowded, the music isn't so loud, and it's possible to have a nice conversation while sitting at the bar.
The Friday fish fry is good. The place does get CROWDED so be aware.
One of their Bloody Mary recipes has a modest amount of horseradish in it, which turned out to be very good.
