Description

This triplex layout splits the crowd across a lively main floor bar, a cozy basement lounge, and a downstairs game room. While it is explicitly a no-frills alternative to fancy mixology, it backs up its dive status with a vast selection of alcohol, ranging from daily specials to top-shelf bottles. Dozens of TVs keep the focus on sports, yet the volume usually remains reasonable enough for conversation without yelling, even when a big game packs the house.
