The bar has a cool look and they play good music and i thought it was pretty cool. They have a pretty nice game room with some fun stuff and a patio thats always pretty filled with people which is cool. Only problem is the bartenders are short with you if youre not a woman and are just straight up assholes sometimes. Last night i tapped my glass on the bar counter probably about 5 times max. Once on accident, second because i thought the knock of the wood sounded interesting but wasn't sure, and the next three to talk to a friend about what the wood might be made of when the bartender grabbed my cup "from the lip where i DRINK from" and slammed my cup on the table.
