Alright, so I happened to stop in after years of waffling. It's a good atmospheric situation - pool table, excellent lighting and general environment you'd hope for in a bar. They only take cash, so just a heads up, but there's an atm so nbd.
The bartender was the coolest woman. God, man, she really just understood life and showed me real kindness. It's not something that is easily taught or learned - it comes from a tremendous depth of soul.
