Overview
Smells of must and vomit, but you'll soon forget to care. Cheap beer, friendly bartenders, and even odds of walking in and getting straight on the pool any night of the week.
2 by 4 is quite plainly a drinker's bar. The beer here's cheap, the happy hour's long, and despite the bar's corner location sunlight is something they've clearly made a point to keep outside and away from bleary eyes.
This is the kind of bar where you can stop in, pull up a chair at the end of the bar, drink half a bottle of scotch, and pass out in a puddle of drool. Not only will no one here give you so much as a sideways glance, in all probability the bartender will kindly lift your head by your hair and wipe up the puddle for you. If you just came home early from work to discover your wife in flagrante delicato with the Fresh Direct delivery guy, this is the bar for you.
