I was walking through Kaleva on a slow Thursday night. Snow really started coming down so I ducked into this place.
It was quiet and low lit. Tables in the front by the bar area. Bartender was friendly enough when I ordered a bottled IPA.
I took a seat in the back area with booths. Some classic rock music was playing in the background. There's a pool table that's evidently an hourly thing. Looks well kept, and plenty of room. A couple locals had a game going on. They exchanged some words and hugs with the staff at some point. Sign of a local joint.
As I left, the staff were putting a hockey game on the screen.
I liked this place and enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. And the prices were great. I recommend the place if you happen to be in the area looking to wet your whistle. I'm sure I'll be back.
