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

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