Awesome burger, and even better drinks. Order the fried broccoli. A quiet and friendly spot with great offerings. Sit at the bar and chat with the staff if you're alone. Interesting conversation is never lacking.

Alright, it's not healthy, but damn it's so good. The pulled pork is my favorite, and feeds for for a while. Heck, you have a refrigerator...take left overs home and throw some eggs in for breaky tomorrow. The staff is awesome, drinks are great. Can't go wrong if you want some BBQ goodness.

Drinks & Nightlife
My favorite bar in the hood, by far! Lovely staff, amazing, carefully crafted drinks and tasty snacks. They're open late too, which is a rarity around the hood. My favorite drink is the Freudian Slip, and you can't go wrong with any of the others. They have outdoor seating in the fair weather months.
