Was alerted to the existence of this bar by another yelper and decided to check it out while waiting for a spot at Champs Diner across the street. I feel like this is a sort of well established tradition for Champs patrons since there always seems to be a wait!
One of the best things about this bar is that they have happy hour till 9pm!
