Okay, I'm a fan of the bar, but I must say that the open mic host is a bit less than desired. Some of his actions toward the musicians is vulgar and uncalled for. Maybe it's booze coming out or it's just his character of the way he is, but it is certainly not desirable by any means. My friend and I were quite offended by his behavior to a female keyboard player as she was waiting for him to place the microphone. He poked it in her face with as back and forth motion remarking, "Here, take it, take it baby, take it all," as if it were to be taken as a sexual connotation. It wasn't funny at all. It was demeaning towards the young girl and she reacted with a frown and a perplexed look on her face. We as patrons were offended at his behavior as well. We feel as performing musicians, do not have to be treated in this manner, nor as patrons have to put up with it as well. Sexual harassment in any form is not acceptable in any environment.

That was my first and last...

It's a dive, so keep that in mind. It's usually very college-ey as well. The space is small and narrow but it's a good spot for a late night drink! Also cool that they give you the cups you can walk around with outside.
I've never had bad service, it can just take a minute when they're busy. But... overall the bartenders usually get to me pretty quick.
I've never ran into a rude or bad crowd here so that's usually nice to know that the bar doesn't tend to attract a hostile population.
Not my most favorite place, as I usually tend to prefer a little more upscale or modern hipstery type bar... but given this is one of the few late night spots, I'll...
