Kinda weird I guess, cuz you can smoke inside. Â I can see where in the colder weather this place might look and small like Kramer's smoking club, but in the nice weather, its sorta fun, off the beaten path a bit.
Personally, we thought the waitstaff was very very friendly, but the bouncers/managers were probably more intimidating than need be, considering the location and the crowd.
Fair prices and large glasses!
If you like the occasional cigar with a nice scotch or six, swing by here. It has a friendly neighborhood hangout feel--for a place on the Hill--lots of TVs and a surprisingly good ventilation system. The attentive, efficient staff are super nice.
What might amaze you about this little place is their pub grub. It's good.
I've eaten here with friends several times and we're always pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. On my most recent visit I had an excellent Bacon BBQ Burger, slathered in sauce and served with a good helping of pub fries. For $10.
Their humidor is passable; they've been closed for repairs/renovations so their offerings were a little light on our last visit, but for the casual patron they have plenty to choose from. Or bring your own sticks.
Not too loud and generally not crowded on week nights. A favorite Buddy hangout and a comfortable place to spend a couple of hours.
