I've been to the Crowbar about ten times. Here's a breakdown:
PROS:
--- Friendly bartenders
--- Pretty good Happy Hour: 3-7 M-F. Draft beers $2 a pop
CONS:
--- It smells like feet in here. Or moldy cheese. One of the two. You get used to the smell after a bit, but still.
--- It's really DARK in this bar. It's like the bar Charles Bukowski (Mickey Rourke) frequented in "Barfly." Everyone cringes when the front door opens because it's so damn bright outside compared to inside. I think a lady was trying to make eye contact with me, but I couldn't tell for sure because I could hardly see her.
--- Smoky
VERDICT: Despite the lack of lighting and the sometimes strange odor, I'll be stopping here fairly often. I thought the bartenders and other customers were friendly, and it is a comfortable place to hang out and swill a few beers.
