Awesome local pub!
This place is an awesome dive bar to hang out in on a nightly basis if you can. The staff is always friendly if you are respectful and friendly too. The food is great for it being bar food and the portions are HUGE, this place does not promote itself as a 5 star restaurant so expect good BAR food and that's what you'll get. As for those saying there is some kind of "gambling" going on Tuesday nights it's actually a really fun $100 raffle; you put your name in a book and every Tuesday night they pick a name, you have to be there to claim the price or your name is posted up as a looser and the $100 goes into the next week's raffle, meaning the following week it'll be $200, I think the biggest it ever got was just over a grand. As for those saying Mehaul is rude or obnoxious you could not be more wrong, he is super friendly and cares about the environment in his bar, so if you are ruining the vibe for everyone by being an a-hole of course he's going to treat you the same way. If you come expecting a super trendy place forget it, this place is down to earth and relaxed which is why I love it. I come here in jeans and T with some old converse on expecting to have a good time with friends, if i want to get bothered by some drunk a-holes I'll go to Hollywood. As for those upset about being hurried out of the bar when it's closing time, DUH! It's CLOSING time which means these ppl still need to clean up for an hour or more before heading home. I love this place and I bring all of my out of town friends here, I'd recommend it to EVERYONE in an instant. (PS I'm 24 and the crowd is a little older but that's why it's such a chill place to hang out in)
