My FAVOURITE bar in the city!!
It's true that it's a little out of the way for most, but for me, it's my local.
It's a great little hole in the wall: dark, small, cool records always playing, a juke box, sometimes a live band. They have some crazy décor going on including an Elvis bust, and interesting mementos from past customers slid under the glass table tops. The patio in the summer is strange little oasis that feels like you're in a friends slightly weedy backyard.
The beer on tap is only Mill Street, but the rotating selections are always good. They've updated a few of the things on the menu recently, which is nice to see because the food has never been their strong point. I always get the veggie burrito and the new version is FANTASTIC. I hear their GEMbalaya is quite stellar as well- '20 years and going strong' the server told us.
The crowd is a mix- if not a little on the hipster side- but always cool, always relaxed. Perfect spot for an after work pint or a weekend catch up with good friends.
