Very cool bar nearby. Typically pretty packed because this place draws return customers and loyal followers. Personable bartenders who know how to keep 'em coming! Famous for their chicken wings but don't order them if you are in a hurry because everybody else in the bar ordered them too and your wait could be 45-60 minutes. BTW, no kids allowed.
