in the last weekI ventured to this bar on Sunday evening because I got to the village a little bit early than I anticipated and needed some place to hang out and grab a couple of drinks until seeing a show at LPR across the street. I went to another place in the village a couple of blocks away beforehand, but their snooty nose up in the air host didn't want to seat me at their empty bar because I didn't "have a reservation". At the bar? C'mon man. I was greeted by a great bartender (unfortunately I didn't catch her name) who was very nice and personable and funny and was right on top of everything at the bar. There was some live music playing which sounded great. It wasn't too loud and it looks like everyone was enjoying the vibe. I was only there for about an hour until I had to go to my show but I had a great time, and if I'm ever in the village for a show again, I'll definitely come back.
