For some completely
unknown reason this place reminds me of an old timey saloon. There
is absolutely no reason why that should be, of course, other than
the fact there is a downstairs, where apparently some people can gather,
and then an upstairs where, in the Old West, guys used to retire to
have there six shooters shined by dusty prostitutes. But instead of
Mae West, this joint has beer and couches where after work folks can
chill and drink. See, there is no reason for me to equate the two
other than it's really late as I write this and my mind is going all
over the place. The other reason is that there is some theater thing
attached to this place, and all I can picture is Bugs Bunny pretending--as
he often did--to be a showgirl in his bloomers and petticoats and
whatever with the lipstick and Yosemite Sam kicking his heels together
and wolf-whistling. Now that I've gone completely off the rails, let
me say that this is a warm, comfortable place for after work, serving
a decent spate of good beers, relatively low prices on liquor, nice
couches in the upstairs location, soft lighting, and considerate decorations
throughout. There are very few good places in this neighborhood to
hang out, so one would think this would be jam packed every night.
It's a little misleading from the outside, but step in and see that
this crap-ass 'hood isn't all bad. [MF]
