A secret local haunt for former contestants of a certain reality TV show about aspiring models. Come here enough times and you'll see what I mean.
Too broke for the show? Sit down at the bar, order a $3 beer and watch the show through the huge glass window. Works great when they run the live sound into the bar, still kinda funny when they don't.
