    Its a great dingy bar for good drink specials. The bartenders know when to socialize and when not to. And the crowd is usually older, but fun.

    The only thing that could make Al a better bartender is him taking off his shirt. Just kidding--Al rocks!

    While you're here, enjoy a nice chilled shot of Pinnacle Whipped or Chocolate Whipped Vodka.
