The newest incarnation of this building, opened as a bar back in 1924, maintains a new-kid-on-the-block desire to please and entertain you. What this means is they manage to pack an inordinate number of activities into a relatively small space. You want music? Digital jukebox, loads of selections from early Prince to Buffalo Springfield. How about shooting some stick? Full pool table in the rear section, in front of the rear bar, which is also still under construction. Sports? Wide-screen TV, plus several others suspended overhead. Movie night? Monday double-feature nights are gaining some significant regulars. Game night? Wednesdays, featuring various classics plus the occasional off-beat throw-in, like paddle-less beer pong. What they don't have -- at least yet -- is food. But with a healthy selection of taps, including Stella Artois and Franziskaner Weissbier among many of the usual mainstays, plus the aforementioned exhausting array of other distractions, you won't need for much else.
