Went in at midnight on a Saturday, and the place was mostly empty. Agree with Sarah L. that it's definitely better than waiting for a seat at Cowboy Monkey, and the drink specials were decent. I was also a fan of not having to wait for some poor sluttily-dressed 18-year-old waitress to get groped at fifteen other tables before she could bring me my beer. But at Barfly we couldn't get *any* outdoor service except for shots, the inside looks like an 80s strip club, and there were no bar snacks or other people to look at.
So it's a draw. Not great, but not a nightmare either.
