| - My grad school advisor recently warned me that I should stay away from this place. So when one of his students suggested that I check it out with him at 1AM, my answer was quick and predictable. :)
When we got there, the place had a very nice energy for 1AM. Like someone else said - divey, but not divey in the "I hope that guy doesn't come over here" way. No, more divey in the "Hey, this waitress actually seems kind of cool without being a hipster douche" way. (Yes, I know that's her job, but it's nice to see people doing their job well.)
We came there to have one drink, but wound up having more - and ordering more than you expected is nearly always a good sign. We had something that billed itself as "The Official State Beer of China", which tasted suspiciously like apple juice but at $2 a bottle left us with no complaints. All in all, I approve. It seemed they had very few drinks on tap - so I'll hold off on the the fifth star until I check out their full fridge selection and/or try their food - but for now, it seems like a nice "standby" for a weekday drink.
