| - I came here recently for their open mic night. Really this review is about the ambience on that evening, perhaps it is not the best assessment because I disliked the entertainment so much. The bar itself is cool, small but homey. Have a couple of beers on tap, nothing too fancy. But the comedy that night left much to be desired. The comics started around 9ish; pretty much all of them white males. The majority of the jokes centered around sex and women. I think these men are what one would call 'man child', as their jokes really were very immature. Don't get me wrong, I am a very open-minded individual and feel that comedy in this country tends to be very politically correct. But a lot of the jokes I heard that night were about domestic violence, attacks against minority groups, etc. There was also an abundance of pedofilia and priest jokes. And interestingly enough, a lot of talk about abortions (might I have found some supporters that night?). This will sound harsh, but it seems like these men are afraid of women. Not one made eye contact with me and I am not an intimidating person. We stook around for a good two hours because we just couldn't get over what was happening.
I will be back because I've heard that their live music nights are cool. And the bartender that evening, Tracy, was very, very nice.
