"This is a great place. A few friends and I stopped in on a Wednesday night for one of the pool tournaments they host and met a lot of nice people. It's a very unique looking bar and they are one of the few places anywhere that serve absinthe. If you haven't had absinthe I would suggest you stop in and try it out."
