There's often live music and cheap drinks good to pair with a pizza. Bar is unassuming from the outside. Entrance is the same as Hounddog's. You actually have to go through the restaurant to get there. At night there's usually a security guard checking IDs at the point you go between. They also might charge a cover when there's live music. It seems most nights there isn't. That's okay because you can get cheap drinks, which helps with the pizza since that's kind of pricey. Overall it's the best of this cluster of bars. Each bar has it's own sense of cool. The other ones aren't attached to a kickass pizza place though.

My fiancé and I did our fair bit of shopping around for a dance studio to prepare for our upcoming…read morewedding. We are very glad with our choice and really enjoyed our dance lessons. The owner is very responsive and involved in his business. Our teacher Amy was great and helped us create the dance that fit our style, song, and capability. She really helped us with whatever we wanted, but still challenged us to improve our technique. We are very excited to see the reactions of our wedding guests and can't wait to continue with our newfound love of dance! I highly recommend this studio for any person looking to learn. They have private and group classes and the parties are a fun way to challenge yourself and watch proficient dancers. The instructors are all very helpful and will cater to each person individually. The group/party lessons are very fairly priced and the classes change all the time. You can find the schedule on their website.
