I love a humble dive bar, but add live music, and that's a winning combo. Octopus GETS it and does it well. From big names to fresh faces, you're guaranteed good tunes here.

If you've ever wondered what the inside of a lawnmower sounds like, be sure to attend one of their music acts, as the acoustics couldn't be worse. If you hate having bartenders that treat you with courtesy and prompt service, be sure to visit one of the hooligans they've got tending bar. If you're a masochist who enjoys a beating, go during the busy times, as the staff is happy to overserve aggressive drunks and then look the other way when hostilities commence. Don't forget the food, which has a quality that might be pleasing in a labor camp but seems subpar for paying customers. What a joint!

There were 2 guys playing cards but the rotating group of young, drunk 20 somethings- screamed that we were in the place. Bottles of beer were $3- all beer for $3.

(or maybe that is just my perception) I love this place for many reasons: 1.) The bartender (that I believe no longer works there but I still love her, Katie.) The reason I went there so much. 2.) Good stiff drinks that are cheap 3.) Pool tables 4.) Juke Box that plays Janis Joplin, David Bowie and other generally good songs (when your drunk) 5.) SALTY popcorn that taste amazing aka "crack" 6.) mini pitchers 7.) being allowed to dance around with my shoes off 8.) usually not crowded 9.)

"Stupid beer" is the mass-marketed domestic, watery, flavorless crap most often offered at nearly every other blasted bar. Oh, no; If I want a super-hopped IPA, I can get it. An oatmeal stout? NO PROBLEM. Perhaps a porter, or maybe a craft brew? They have it. It is a beer oasis in a sea of swill.

We got a table with no issue. Waitress arrived with and we got started with some drinks and apps. Honey garlic edamame was different and very good, queso dip was standard fare. For cocktails, we were all over the place: beers, wine and one guy had some whiskey. Frankly, I forgot what the others had but I ended up with a steak, which was fine. A second round of drinks and we were pretty much done with dinner - but we still had a decent amount of drinks left- and that is sort of when we started feeling rushed by the waitress. She asked a few times while we still had our entrees "if we wanted anything else" - which we felt was odd - it did not come across like "are you satisfied", it was more like do you want the bill? Weird vibe. We discussed it among ourselves that maybe she needed to get out and we were her last table but she came round again asking if we wanted the check and my buddy asked her is she was heading out and actually said no- she was there for a few hours more... so the whole thing was perplexing. Anyway, food was good- prices were average. Service was interesting. Maybe your experience will be better. Street parking

I'll be surprised if the fire commissioner allows crowds of over 75 in that place. And I say that as a former firefighter, it's not a very big place. It is a cash only bar, which can get annoying because if you don't tip after every order, you'd be ignored the next time you want to order. No elbow room at the bar. The stools are very close together. I could see myself going back there, maybe in the daytime when it's slow, but I definitely wouldn't go on a Friday or Saturday night when everyone is out bar hopping
