i would probably die of horror if i found myself at ANY bar that had live music.. so i'm utterly glad i came here on a night with strictly the internet jukebox playing.
we came across this place after the car decided to die in the middle of traffic. and after waiting for a tow truck to arrive, we were in dire need for a stiff drink or eight. thankfully, this bar was only a few mere blocks away from the mishap.
this is not a dive bar by any means but the aesthetic and overall temperament suggests so. regardless, i'm fine with this. this place is clean, properly-lit and has ample seating. there are a few billiards tables and dart boards.
this is definitely a place to people-watch as the patronage is so diversified; one has to wonder what sway crystal corner has over madisonites.
anyway, we planned on staying for two drinks maximum but we ended up for staying six hours.
chatting with the locals and taking multiple shots with the bartender made this place a gem to behold.
