    Scary name and kind of scary interior, but it's the friendliest bar in Boystown by far. Everyone is welcomed.

    Rick is indeed awesome, but Mark (up front Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights) is the reason we come back. The cell block has had some tough times but Mark is a fantastic bartender, and a great guy!
