Overview

The defacto neighborhood bar on Columbus Avenue serves a decent coffee and offers free WiFi during the day, and once the sun falls it becomes a fullbar drawing an eclectic crowd that varies wildly depending on the night. Wednesdays is trivia night, Mondays there's live music, and Saturdays ladies drinks are half off.
