the raddest bar downtown – This place is my fave. All of the staff is really nice and generous with the strength of the alcohol in drinks. I like how dark it is inside. You can see what you need to but everyone's flaws aren't on display. The customers here are really cool...on any given night I run into at least three people I know. I do agree with the complaint about the bathrooms, but that's the only con I can think of.
