Editorial Review

Story goes that when this joint's proprietor stopped bartending at Great Lakes he took every CD in the juke with him. Because they were all his. Malkmus-heavy soundtrack for a spit-shined sleek spot. Good place to grab a beer after a grueling day of working from home. Feeling sluggish? Try an Anti-Oxidant Martini made with pineapple and pomegranate—chicken soup for the drunkard soul. Sunday Scrabble tournaments, finally.
