This place has a cool name and an even cooler vibe. It is not exactly a happening, wild place, but it is a good place to have a few beers with the boys (and girls) and play a few rounds of pool with the pros who have been around this place probably longer than you have been alive. There are always the sports channels playing, a few dartboards, and several cranky characters watching your every move. Don't worry, after a few minutes they will get used to you and you will be one of them in no time.
