191 South

Maybe I am just getting too old for bars or maybe this place does suck.  I just want to sit down and enjoy a nice meal and a craft beer or two.  Is that too much to ask for?  

This place attracts the young & dumb who just want to get smashed and start a fight.  If you have read the news recently then you already know about the dude who got convicted of punching a guy so hard it put him in a coma.

Beer selection good. Good weekday specials including Wednesday half off pizza. One of my favorite pizza places now. Excellent crispy crust. Yumm. Can get loud on the 191 side and chilly from the smokers in and out off patio but overall good atmosphere.

A friend and I went here to see his friend perform with her band.  Even though we got there at 8:00 (2 hours before showtime), we still had to shell out a $7 cover.  (Yes, I know a cut of the cover goes to the performer...)  

The bartenders were relatively friendly, though we couldn't help but be distracted by bartender whose, ehm, goodies were all up in our faces. I'm sure she made the most tips. :)  Beer was typically priced.  

The bathrooms were clean, though only ONE blowdryer in the women's bathroom was worth using (vortex-style; the rest are old and take fo'eva').  

The stage is small (I've seen smaller I suppose) and the acoustics were alright.
The place got packed around 10, and there really was no good room to stand in view of the stage without being in foot traffic.  I was bumped several times by staff - some with apologies but many without.  Since I'm honestly not a country fan, people-watching became the primary activity.  There were many-a plaid shirts, a few Ed Hardies, and (sadly) only one guy donning a hat and boots.  

If YOU end up being dragged here by a friend, at least there will be mildly amusing (or, depending on your POV, arousing) eye candy.
