Good service, cheap drinks (dangerous) and fun locals. It's a cozy bar, so show up earlier if you want a seat. I've been here a handful of times. It's a favorite place to hang out among local young people and artists.
There's often a band playing. It's a good place to watch people. Some strange cats come through, probably to rip out of the surrounding small-town, conservative angst that is Norfolk.
The art inside is also strange. I can't remember the guy's name, but there is an artist that everyone loves in Norfolk and lots of his stuff is featured in this bar. They always talk about how great he is when I'm there, and I politely listen, but honestly not my taste.
The drinks are so cheap that you have to be careful. I absolutely got shit-faced during New Years a few years ago. It was a fun time though. The bartender was awesome. We had cheap champagne on the house at midnight. They passed around hats, noisemakers and other party favors.
They don't have much food here, mostly frozen pizzas that actually taste pretty terrible (but who cares if you're drunk). There aren't too many places in Norfolk to hang out. This is a pretty interesting place. read more
