    Bar for the best bar downtown. And might I add the cleanest. Finally a bar that I can actually go to the bathroom at without stepping through puke and.. ya know. Haha. Great music and great staff. They're always so much fun! 3 different levels to party on with different music on each almost makes it seem like you can hit multiple bars without even leaving! Love this bar for sure.
