Kind of a divey place with a great bartender . Everyone seems to know one another and there was a great vibe. Could’ve stayed all day. Only problem, it did smell like sour feet.

Try the three different punches and if you're in a group, get the punch bowl . Great for people watching too!

The Victorian punch bowl is my favorite! Bring a bunch of friends & get a big bowl to share!
