    Not just another bar: they always have drink specials, and either an arts event, live band or a party. The parking is difficult. Park at El Tiempo or michaelangelo's for $5

    Go listen to the Free Radicals on Monday nights and dance away them Monday blues. There's great beer, cool vibe and lovely patios.

    Beware of parking. I parked 2 blocks away in what Ii thought was a safe and legal spot. No signs markings, etc. only to be ticketed for being within 20 feet of a crosswalk. What a racket

    The lady bartenderess has the best smile. Try to make her smile for sure. It's quite rewarding.

    Random little place that hosts multiple events. I went for an improv show but saw a photo shoot down stairs and a lone DJ spinning in the other corner. Fun times.
