| - I stumbled into the Hammer last week for the first time with my lady and a friend. It was about 2am, we had been out all evening, and it was time to grub and have a few last drinks. Apparently, this spot JUST opened up, but it was going off. What a cool crowd, including the owner who was very accommodating.
We had drinks at the bar, chicken fingers, wings, fries, and one of the best Philly cheesesteak sandwiches I have ever tasted, including the ones I had in Philadelphia.
Since the place is new, it is clean and fresh looking. Nice polished concrete floors, a new pool table, a handful of large flat screen televisions, and my personal favorite, the internet jukebox. Video poker machines are on the way because they had signs on the bar in the future machine locations.
I would normally drop a star because the place is a little out of the way, but I had such a good time that the stars remain in tact. Besides, this bar isn't trying to be anything more than it is...a low-key neighborhood hangout that happens to draw a crowd from other parts of the city. A great hangout, not a club. However, there was no shortage of people getting down the night we were there. Good stuff.
