This is what someone who I assume really likes the basement said to me regarding my thoughts on how…read moreuncomfortable this place can make me: "i would offer to dislodge the urban outfitters brand stick from your ass but it seems to be firmly wedged in there with a mixture of smug elitism and yearning for your "college radio days". the effort you put into this backhanded review is off putting to say the least and leaves one to wonder why you continue to patronize establishments that you deem to be so mainstream and played out. Unfortunately, the air of hipsterdom supposedly affected by the basement pales in comparison to that in which you seem to languish."

Walking in, you're greeted with the widest array of signage. At first the restaurant/bar seems…read moresmall, unassuming even. Walking into the back, you realize just how massive the space is. The front area is more of a dive bar feel, the back room more of a restaurant feel, with a sweet little courtyard adding to the diversity of space. Upstaris there are pool tables, both rented hourly as well as coin operated. I was disappointed that the cider was no longer on tap, but C'est La Vie. The cocktails were refreshing, and man, let me tell you... the steak skewers... YUM. I had zero expectation of what my tastebuds were going to feel, once the bartender put a bottle of A-1 on the bar. That's NEVER a good sign. Why anyone would sully these little morsels of deliciousness with A-1 is beyond me. They were freaking awesome.
