our little happy hour group has been here a few times & it's always fun! the food is delicious & interesting (not your normal pub fare - although the hamburger is quite yummers). the service is spot-on - the staff really knows what's what. and it's just a really comfortable place to be.
the gallery upstairs is also cool & a nice diversion if you need a change of scenery. i've seen two of their shows & have been impressed with the work they're displaying.
they have complimentary valet parking across the street which is nice.
the neighborhood is a bit transitional, so i wouldn't recommend you bring your grandma, but there's a lot going on around here (noni's & corner tavern just down the street).
Pros: not the same old bar/restaurant (you know you're tired of that place, too)
