With a sign outside that seems to have gone unwashed for decades (perhaps since its opening in the post-prohibition year of 1936), floorboards that creak in protest at every step, and very smoky air, this bar seems to be appropriate for those who take their nightlife seriously. Its bark, however, is much worse than its bite. The clientele consists primarily of fun-loving fans of retro fashions. So, put a quarter on the pool table or pull up a stool at the bar and order one of the many available microbrews.
