Went here for the first time. These kinds of places are disappearing quick! Talked with the bartender who has been there for 40+ years. There wasn't a cool, so we didn't get to try the food, but we will definitely be back. Nice beer selection in cans and a few drafts.

Such a cool place. The grilled cheese is awesome and the prices are reasonable. My boyfriend and I got 3 alcoholic drinks and my grilled cheese 26 bucks. I also mistakenly forgot my wristlet. The bartender, who was very nice, noticed it and put it behind the bar where it was safe. The history behind the bar is also interesting. I will be back if I’m craving a grilled cheese.

I really enjoy this place. It's not fancy. It's a cozy neighborhood bar. The staff has no turnover. I have literally watched some of them go gray. You might have to wait a bit for a drink. For the right person, it's worth the wait. The story is, during prohibition, they sold 'coffee'. In coffee cups, if you follow. This place has been here longer than you have been alive, and probably hasn't changed much. That means the basic model works. Good burgers, wings, a couple beers- how is this a bad plan every once in a while. I have had some great conversations here. The crowd is smart, down to earth, and funny. Bourdain liked it, but that was back when you could smoke inside. I don't miss that part. There's even a book written about it. Beat that.

A very casual, neighborhood street cafe. Went here while strolling the shopping street. Surprisingly, the food is great here. I wasn't expecting that given the ambience is more like a busy little bar. On my second visit, I ordered a Cajun chicken sandwich. The chicken was cooked to perfection. Haven't had such neat burger in a long time. They also have a custom ordered mustard which is stone ground, it was so good.

This is by far the best dive bar I’ve ever been to. Ever since they banned smoking this is both our go to neighborhood bar and our final stop of bar hopping any given evening. As far as I can tell when ppl who work their have days off they just hangout at the bar as patrons. What better endorsement of an establishment than to not want to get away from your workplace and coworkers on your day off. Their kitchen stays open late and for the price point I challenge you to find a better spot !

Just like everyone said the cheese balls were the bomb. We had drinks and dinner too. Good music playing on radio and good atmosphere. Would go again. Feels like the local neighborhood bar
