Radicchio salad...grossest thing I've ever eaten. Nice staff though and cool vibe. Will come back and try something different and hope it's edible.

Go on an off night, and earlier. Get the "I hear Banjos!" but maybe don't drink 4-5 of them because...hi blackout!

Crowded and young at times. Live music is overbearing, yes. But you can't argue with the drinks. Go early or late if you want a vibe.
