Such a cool place. The grilled cheese is awesome and the prices are reasonable. My boyfriend and I got 3 alcoholic drinks and my grilled cheese 26 bucks. I also mistakenly forgot my wristlet.

While the kitchen is closed, you can bring your own food. The atmosphere is wonderful, and they offer 4-5 local beers on tap, along with PBR!
