Even on a weekend lunch it's noisy, but it's got nice wood, decent tables, extensive pool tables and ping pong, and sufficient TVs to keep everyone happy.
Beer selection isn't bad and the food is more than okay, although it's nothing to get excited about either.
Certainly decent enough to go hangout, tho. And our server, at least on a slow Saturday, was awesome. Drinks arrived almost as they were empty-- I swear she had telepathy or something...
