Bar 224 is a great place to go on a Friday night, the service is great and pretty fast, and the crowd is usually nice too (including the bartenders and bouncers). The bar also has a free guest list sign up, which is awesome.
Overall, the drinks are cheap and good (shots, beer, or cocktails for $3); and I recommend bar 224 for a night out in the city. The only con I can think of is that the washrooms are pretty small, so if it's a busy night - it might be quite the wait.
