. . "Spacious and somewhat institutional-feeling (as in, linoleum floors and battered diner furniture) dive bar with plenty of character and very reasonably priced drinks. Although located in Petit Patrie / Little Italy, it's definitely a Mile-Endois kind of place. Mellow 20s to 30s crowd with tats and bad posture. And two bowling lanes (don't get too excited: you have to set your own pins), which seem like a great idea until someone else starts bowling. No TV, which is a huge plus. And the food is excellent for what it is and very reasonably priced. Seriously, whichever variation of their roast beef sandwich is on the menu when you go is probably worth the price of admission. Although this place serves liquor, you should probably avoid any cocktail more complicated than a gin and tonic or Jack and Coke. They're not mixologists here--they pull beers and pour shots.\n\nI like this bar a lot, though the ambiance leaves a bit to be desired. If inexpensive drinks and a good crowd are your things (again, you'll only think the bowling thing is cool the first time you go), you should not overlook this place."^^ . "2"^^ . . "3"^^ .
