The Bull

This is a great place to grab a beer and talk to a friend.  Yep, you can actually hear pretty well in this place.  The crowd seemed to be late 20s and 30s.  Girls, you may be hit on with some interesting pickup lines like "you girls look like pharmaceutical reps."  It was a bit odd.  Service is great and the atmosphere is pretty chill.

I love this place!!! There is usually great live music... NO COVER!
The beer selection is good. And Rich, behind the bar is pretty cool.
Give them a try, you'll love it!

I don't know if I want to describe The Bull as pretentious or charming. It's not really my thing. The prices are too high and the crowd is dull. Great selection of food, drinks, and coffee products though.

If you're a snobby arts grad student, a young-achieving assistant professor, or part of the local literati - you'll love this place. Otherwise you're better off drinkin' alone.
