CITY SEARCH SAYS: Once a regular old-neighborhood hangout, this congenial bar has been steadily usurped by the cool youngsters who pile in every weekend. White Christmas lights and strings of seasonal decorations create a festive spirit in an otherwise plain room, which is furnished with red booths and bar stools, and a jukebox filled with rock-and-roll and retro standards. Despite the changes in clientele, the biggest draw remains the 32-ounce Styrofoam cup of Bud for $3.50.

I was invited to a threesome here a couple years ago. Great tunes on the box and when I ordered a beer the bartender said "Large or small?" Ha!

I was here on a calm April weekday in 2007, while on holiday from Australia.
Very cooky and I was suitably liquored up after 2 drinks.
The burger up the road tasted great after that.

I only drink from styrofoam cups and I only eat off of styrofoam plates. They're biodigradable.

if you don't like Bud in a sytrofoam cup, then you are nuts. I saw a marriage proposal here in 2001. that was cool. here's your chance to mix with the locals!

This is a Turkey Nest wannabe but with more trendies, (or hipsters, if you prefer to be called), and fewer bar choices.
