Great atmosphere. Alternative music. Three pool tables. Chill without being super divey. Good beer. There's nothing not to like.

Great dark grungy divey feeling bar in the heart of wicker. Good jukebox, pool tables, and cheap drinks to go with it. PBR special if you're looking to get rowdy.

Nice atmosphere, punkish and friendly. Great selection of beers and interesting shots...

They have an awesome shot+PBR combo for $5!

Late night stop. So dive bar you wouldn't know what to do with yourself.

Bartender tried to stiff me my change. Also, the "Oberon" is probably half Miller Lite.

Don't ignore the writing on the wall. The Artwork in the bar is pretty awesome.

Watch for Matt. He may or may not use his unkempt, pussy-smelling beard to toss you out if you're rowdy.

When you come to flat iron, you must try the whiskey bubbles.

Dive bars can be fun, but this stank hole sucks. You might want to stay out til 4, but if this is your only option, just go home
