Model cafe is a super fun little place. Cash only so stop at an atm ! The bartender is very friendly and provides great conversation over a beer . Around 11 it turns into a party with a dj ! Recommended.

Bobby Kay

Loud music , incessant dancing , and a bevy of hipsters - I should hate The Model. But, it's all amazingly infectious. Basically, I've never had a bad time at The Model.

Jonathan C.

This place is cash only , but they have an ATM inside. Get here early to avoid the line outside . Great, eclectic crowd and good tunes . Dance parties may spontaneously erupt. Good times!

Steve Seabury, author of Mosh Potatoes heavy metal cookbook , says: This is a cool bar to go to at the end of the night. Pool table , cheap pints of beer , and a juke box that screams METAL!!! Read more

Joe Montes

Standard hipster dive bar , but the drinks are cheap and the dance floor is great. Great vibes. Get weird.

Caleb Hutchings

Arrive before 11:30 or you'll be suffering in the most arbitrary line . Remember it's a cash bar and tipping well drastically cuts the time you hold an empty glass.

The Ad Club

The crowd comes after the Sil closes. Get there before that line . On Tuesdays our friend Sam Nevin of Razormaze DJ's some Metal. Come w/ friends

Ben Tepfer

Heaven for those looking for PBR , dancing , hipsters and vinyl .

Tessa Nichols

very cheap beer . VERY hipster friendly . sometimes a line outside so get there early.

The Lights Out

Good place to start a band. We formed here, and now you can listen to our "Primetime" album in the jukebox !

Laura Powell

They require two forms of ID to get in the bar if you have an out of state ID. A debt card will do.

Maciej Walkosz

Great place to grab some 2.75$ pbr

Jacqui Beaulieu

Cheap drinks , awesome dj's on the weekends!

Mirza Causevic

It's a circus show. -- With that said, go see it.

Alex Dobyan

Pretty standard dive bar , replete with Big Buck Hunter and all.

DORY

2.50 for a generous glass of PBR , the owner is a gentlemen, and dancing will happen if you come with a group who is willing to dance .

Josh Kinney

they have woodchuck on tap ! Awesome spot

Devin Etterahc

Leave here with regrets and missing dignity . Do it!

Chris Wilcox

$5 Jack and (splash of) Ginger - can't hate the strong drinks

Tash Al-Rafie

Good atmosphere- definitely less uncomfortable than Ellum

Rick Webb

When you're almost out of money in life, bring the last of it you have here, drink it away and burn the last dollar in the Mens' room.

Gina MITLO

great place good people fair prices

Robert Noack

Go to The Model Cafe. Play Addams Family pinball . When you lose take 2 coasters and put them under the front legs. Repeat until you do better.

they're all Monsters Incorporated

Abby Johnson

Here's a tip.... avoid Fri & Sat nights AT ALL COSTS

Ask for a Summer Snatch if you want something stronger than a long island .

One time I held the bathroom door closed so my roommate could shit.

Sean Fitzroy

order a drink, it's a double.

Stay away if you have any dignity left. You usually don't at last call but do try.
