Really cool dive bar with live music in an old stable/turned house. Lilly makes excellent drinks!

Cramped enough to make you have to socialize, but still filled with tons of potentially private corners.

poor smell and procedures

This was a stop on a spooky pub crawl, and the guide was amazing and had the scoop on the story of the place, which was what made it a great experience in my opinion. The bartender was okay (I think he was new), and the drink was alright. I think the main draw is the atmosphere and the story, which is pretty neat.

Smells dank. Very dead on a Friday evening

A super unique old school bar but as much as I enjoy it, I can't give it 5 stars. The drink selection is terrible. You have your choice of 2 flavors of seltzers and one or two domestic beers, and few liquor bottles behind the bar that seem to have been there forever. There's a tap for Guinness, but I'm told it's only available during St. Patty's day. It's the kind of place you take out-of-towners because it is so different. The staff is super polite and inviting. However, I can't justify a $5 cover and to be frank, the place is dirty (even for a dive bar)

are the hours listed incorrect? i've tried to come here twice and they were closed.

No idea how this place is still open. We were there at 8:30 on a Friday night and were the only ones in the bar. The decor is cool (the floor is like a cobblestone street) but the seats were very uncomfortable. My little home bar is better stocked - there was maybe 15 bottles of alcohol behind the bar. It smelled like cheap potpourri. The drinks were absolutely terrible - I choked down three sips before I gave up. We left when we saw a rat scurry between the plants by the front windows.

Place is soo cool but the terrible smell of wet dog or animal urine is a huge turn off. Please fix this problem, apparently it’s been a thing for years! Sadly because of this I won’t be returning.

Do you like 1000lb pumpkins and Mongolian throat singing? Also the drinks are stiff. Bring cash.
