i automatically liked the Hen House when i heard that it was owned by members of the Organ. i knew it had to be cool.
despite that i may get a few evil eyes from hipsters here, i always feel pretty comfortable walking in at any time. once the hipsters get drunk enough they'll even try to dance with you.
the juke box is a great way to hang out with a new date, and there's great stuff in there to keep you coming back for more. the decor isn't much to speak of but the washrooms are papered in old high school year books, which always makes me take so much longer in there than i mean to. and there's a cute bench outside the washroom if you're waiting in line.
they're accommodating of the vegans. once we ordered nachos half without cheese and that wasn't a problem. caesars made with tomato juice or worcestershire are possible too.
brunch on weekends is good if you're just looking for a simple meal. i've only had the tofu scramble (i think that's the only vegan thing) and it's acceptable, though i wouldn't go there just for it. more due to the proximity to my house and that they'll serve cheap alcohol with it.
