drinks we wanted and drinks were had in a dark bar with a 20 year old bartender, a guy with a really bad black eye and a independently wealthy artist from india.

it's handy for stopping for snacks on your way home from the bar. or on your way to or from someone special's house. or just because you can't sleep and need to get snacks.
i can't do my all the time shopping there, but it's handy for a couple of things at a time.
(see what i did there?)
great locally owned book shop.
support your local bookseller.

i understand what they are trying to go for here. bodega-esque. coffee. egg sammiches. soda. condoms. smokes. open late. organic vegan tuna salad.
but the service is hella slow and they really don't have THAT many offerings.
i have yet to try their sandwiches, but i am not rushing.

there is indeed a lot of metal in this bar; the fact that it's 2 blocs from my house isn't necessarily a good thing.
