I have to say, I am confused about the bad reviews. A group of us went on a Saturday night after a Pirates game in September - it was super packed. The bartender could have been nicer, but there were so many people and super loud, so I don't blame him.
Beers + live music = fun.
Like others have said, they do not serve food, so plan accordingly. We had the drunk munchies at 2am, but couldn't find anything to eat (probably a good thing).
