Always enjoy myself here when I can secure space, which actually isn't the case 1 out of 4 times (I don't place blame on the bar for that obviously!). The service is great. Any time I've noshed over my drinks, the fare's been tasty. The bartenders do a great job mixing drinks, and during the warm season, sitting outside at one of the little tables they have is really great. This place is great for a mixed group of people with regards to those who want to eat and those who are only there for drinks. Honestly, the crowded atmosphere only really gets to me when I can't get in and secure a space, but it's okay because I end up just hopping somewhere else instead. Love this place and I'll always consider it one of my favorites!
