The Scene – Dark-red walls, dim lighting, lacquered black furniture and funky blue pendant lights hanging low over the bar suggest a trendy club.

Service sells it

by dan4th

This is a fairly generic bar, with a token attempt at weekend brunch, served in a narrow window. However, the servers (at least some of them) are witty, cute, and entertaining to be around. The bartenders are friendly and funny. When the students are out of town, this is a thoroughly worthwhile place to stop in for a drink. On game nights (during school months), this place is too crowded, too loud, and too unremarkable to bother with. But if it's slow enough that you can actually hear the waitress's repartee, it's totally worth the price of admission.

  • Pros: Service
  • Cons: Parking, Crowd

WINGS, COLD BEER, MLB and NFL always on

by sweendogy

Place does pack them in on the weekends--not a bad place to watch a game --they have the MLB package which is great because I am a 26 time world champion yankee fan.. Menu OK-- only problem is the location
