Around midnight, someone mistakenly entered our room, claiming it was theirs, as the bartender had given them a key. The stairs are very steep, making it difficult if you have luggage. There is no parking available, only street parking. On a positive note, the bar was decent—a cool, local dive with a good selection of beers at fair prices. The area itself is really nice as well.

We also enjoyed the bar and found the staff to be excellent. I highly recommend it! The bar featured a digital jukebox, which I absolutely loved.

However, our recent experiences at the bar have led us to decide not to return. Annemarie, the owner, is incredibly sweet, and I have nothing negative to say about her, which is why I hesitated to leave a review. Unfortunately, there's an older bartender with short blond hair, possibly named Ann, who has terrible people skills. I've never encountered someone so rude and combative for no apparent reason other than her obvious unhappiness. On the bright side, the other bartenders are friendly, especially Bob. But the next time we're in the area, I think we'll stay elsewhere and visit Pratty’s down the street instead. The staff at Pratty’s are fun and welcoming, plus there's plenty of off-street parking available.

Don't forget to take a look at the photo album featuring the history of "Perfect Storm" and scenes from the movie!

What a fantastic neighborhood bar! The atmosphere is always welcoming, and you can count on being treated like a regular, no matter how often you visit. read more What a fantastic neighborhood bar!
