You have to go down a sketchy alley into an unmarked door down into a basement, which is hilarious and apropos to the whole vibe. You feel transported to a grandma's basement circa 1970 - complete with weird thrift store wall decor and photos of anonymous children. \n\nDrinks were surprisingly cheap for downtown hipster bars ($5-6 for beers and well drinks). The house cocktails have great names (e.g. Janet Napolitini) and are creative with ingredients for some old stand by cocktails, kicking up up flavor a notch. These run around $8. \n\nFood is supplied by Shortleash Hot Dogs, which is a plus. I had fried pickles, which were delicious, though I wish they were dill, not sweet. \n\nThe bar was out of control packed by 10 PM and you have to throw elbows to claim your space in line. I appreciate that there is a full bar with domestic, foreign, local and micro brew options. You want nasty old bud light? They got it. You want some over hoppy IPA from a microbew that you'll pretend to like to impress your friends? They got it."^^ . "4"^^ . .
