    great place to go for darts earlier in the night, gets rowdy past 2 when the other bars start to close.

    Thanks to a late-night license, it's open until 4 a.m. (5 a.m. on Saturdays) and grows most crowded after the rest of the neighborhood's bars and clubs close for the night. Read more

    If you want it quiet, go before 2am. After that, it's a popular place but still quite fun.

    Get in line for the bathroom 7 minutes before you really need to go, because it's always long and drunks take forever.
