Our daughter wanted to introduce us to the favorite bar for her and her friends. For a college bar in a college town, it's got a unique chill vibe. No club music, but rather a nice mix of classic rock to more modern alternative. Darts, pool, and places to hang. My only complaint is that the pours on my bourbon and scotch were pretty skimpy. Regardless, a cool joint.
Best bar on Water Street and way more enjoyable to sit and have a drink at than most bars down there now. Atmosphere is kept fun without getting too rowdy and the staff are always on point.
This is moderate hidden gem. Love the upper deck seating that also makes you feel like you're in a stable. Good drink specials. Somewhat modest selection of tap beers and mixed drinks. Bartender was attentive but not overbearing. I took one star away because the bartender was moderately surly and looked put-out by my presence. There is a pool table available as well as free popcorn.
