Great dive bar but make sure you take control of the jukebox early! That was the only downer when I was there last - someone chose a bunch of crap music! Otherwise, a good time.

This is a great place to meet foreigners who come from the orbit hostel ... Foreign people are fun to talk to when you are drunk

From Friday to Sunday almost every drink and food on the menu is only $5. Great happy house specials, and great selection of food.
