"This might be the lesser of all the evils in Champaign, in terms of bars.\n\n$2 wells on a Friday, no cover for 21+, friendly bartenders and door guys, a pretty large inside with the unique loft overlooking the whole place, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.\n\nThe crowd here is mostly older than what you would get at Red Lion or Kam's, I saw a lot of grad-looking students. The music is really loud but ironically not too much dancing going on for some reason.\n\nThey don't have gestapo-like security checking every 5 minutes for wristbands, nor does the crowd push you around annoyingly, and the music is usually halfway decent.\n\nThe only things I didn't like were that the place is a little dirty, but what U of I bar isn't?\n\nThe service was also a little quicker than the other bars, but they still could have used at least 1 more working!\n\nI like this place, it's really great to just sit up on the balcony and have a good conversation with someone as you watch everyone below.\n\nI'll be back!"^^ . . .
