Food is great, service is good, beer is cold. The only thing missing is atmosphere. How about you put the lights on a timer to dim after 6pm? I can't relax with a beer on a Friday night when it feels like I'm sitting in a cafeteria.
Update: returned again to Slyman's Tavern during Lent. Lights dimmed at about 7pm! Asked the server if this was a new development and she said the general manager dims the lights when she's there! Same awesome food, better ambience!
