    Better acoustics on the right/back side of bar with high top seating. Big comfy booths on the left/front side of bar. First come, first serve tho

    Cool arcade games including Street Fighter II. Live sound is a bit harsh don't be shy to bring ear plugs just in case.

    Solid live music venue. Good sound, low ceilings, earplugs are useful.

    Cool little bar/venue if you can ignore most of the crowd. Not too pretentious though!

    Didn't even say it was closed at 12:15. Didn't even acknowledge the fact we were standing there for 15 mins even after asking can I get a drink. This place is crap!
