Nice place for a nice day. Sit outside, and play Trivial Pursuit or Connect 4 (I like board games, so this is a plus for me) or people/dog watch. The happy hour is cheap - $3 a pop. I wouldn't say the bartenders are mean, but they weren't super friendly either. I kind of like friendly bartenders, though.

Praising a place for having cheap  PBR is just ridiculous. Pabst is gross. Pabst is what you drink when you are in college and too poor to afford real beer.  Cheap whiskey; good. Cheap Red Stripe...
