We were there 7-9ish, the bar area was pretty full and busy the whole time, while the dining area tables had a handful of groups. <br /><br />Lot of staff but service was really slow and spotty, but it was all their first night working, so understandable. Overall beer and food are ho-hum, not bad, nothing special. Some respectable beer choices on tap (Goose Island IPA, Abita Purple Haze, Kelso Pilsner).<br /><br />A co-owner came by and said hello and comped us a round, which was nice. He said they had opened the downstairs area for a bit, but no one was going there, so they closed it for the night. <br /><br />The space inside has lots of wood, rustic-looking, and looks and feels pretty warm and cozy for such a large space. All the wood inside looks really nice actually.<br /><br />Crowd was a bit older, not much of the NYU set there. Not frat-arded, but this was an early Monday night. It was pretty loud inside, and the 4-5 TVs had on sports. <br /><br />Anyway, it was innocent enough, but we were there on opening night, a Monday. We'll see how it goes...T.E.V.B.noreply@blogger.com
