This is a dive bar, and a perfect one at that. The beers are cheap. The people at the bar are friendly. The bar tender was the owner and extremely nice. It's a great place to go to be able to actually hear people talking. Darts and foosball are a plus. So were the cards the bar tender offered up to us. I really just had a great time here. Maybe because it feels like it's always happy hour? YEEEAH!
Review Source:Manja has been a mainstay in that Lakewood-Madison district for quite some time. Â However though I don't remember if they closed for a bit or what because I haven't been there in ages. Â Before the Spitfire and Now That's Class came around Manja used to be the Indie-Punk hangout. Â Seriously I have no idea what happened over the last few years since I have been there. Â It still has the same vibe to it but a different clientele. Â I was fine with that because they still remain to have one of the best jukeboxes in town. Â My buddy slapped a five in that thing and we enjoyed everything from The Pixies to the man in black. Â It is a small bar with normal bar seating and some living room furniture to relax on. Â I think it struggles to find an identity in the area. Â Is it still the hipster place it was a few years back? Â Not really, but it's still a decent place to stop. Â Due to it's limited size and seating I couldn't see staying here for a long period of time if it was packed. Â I can't believe bands used to play here. Â It's been so long I can't even remember where the hell they used to play.
