When you start to lament the disappearance of intimate and comfortable neighborhood taverns...stop cryin and go to Busse's instead.I dont know if it's the building, the bartender Donna or both but this place is imbued with a magic you can only get from years of good vibes.If you're not into the whole mysticism thing, that's cool.
