It doesn't look like much from the front entrance on Main Street - actually, it looks like a constuction site that's been forgotten. But walk down the stairs, and you'll find a whole different story. The bar is actually two long, narrow rooms that run side by side. The limestone walls give the place a distinctly cavernous feel, but it's a cozy, inviting kind of cave - not a cold, vaulted-ceiling kind. I especially like the glassed-in cozy room with a couple of old sofas to chill out in. If you're a shuffleboard fan, you're in luck - the Lift sports a genuine, old school shuffleboard table in addition to pool table and dart boards. Near the back you'll find an old elevator shaft that's the inspiration for the tavern's name. The bar is relatively serene during the week, but on the weekends the place fills up to the gills with college students. Great place to grab a pint of Guinness.

I love this place.  The atmosphere is so great because there are plenty of nooks to find for a more intimate feel, but the place can also get packed with people for a really fun night.  Of course, the shuffleboard is one of my favorite things about this bar.  I also love that TVs aren't on and blaring; instead you can always hear good music over the speakers and great conversation.
