If you like dark & cruisy

Then this is the place. I happen to really like dark & sleazy. Friendly staff. I lucked out the night I was there and walked out with a very hot man.

There's nothing going on here.

There is nothing special about this bar whatsoever. The space wascramped and the attention was centered around the not-so-hot stripper. I didn't see anyone there worth meeting.

Fun for fun with friends.

It's dark. It opens early. Has some fun, sleazy clientelle, but it can be a good time if you don't go alone.
