MARTINI BOYS SAY: There was a time when the Legion was known exclusively as a hang out for American war vets to drown their memories with cheap alcohol and the company of others who have experienced the same horrors of war. The Legion has now taken on a new incarnation as a hip hang out spot, replacing Pourhouse, and the American Legion has yet to file a trademark suit. My only advice: don't expect any heroes here

I was there last night for a live music variety show put together by my neighborhood friend Mathew V. who can usually be found behind the bar at Goodbye Blue Monday. I had a great time, the draft beer is relatively inexpensive, $4 Yinglings. The show was fun, funky, and weird. I had a great time there. They also have an outside porch which is nice if you're into that sort of thing. Just bring some cash because that is all they accept here!
