So happy to have a local bar in the neighborhood. It's definitely not the Emerald, but who knows, they may have some local punk acts play a set one night. The staff were wonderful, the owner very gracious. The alcohol selection was decent but a few of my fellow patrons were surprised by the $3 PBR's, but most other prices were reasonable for the area. The decor is definitely ikea hip lounge, recognized many things from the catalogue. Since this will be the new stumble home bar for the area, we were a little wary of the stairs but I'm sure we'll work it out. Since it was the first week open, the happy hour specials hadn't been decided, but we're looking forward to finding out. The music selection was awesome, a bit loud if you wanted a quiet conversation.
