An easy bar - dim lights, cheap(ish) beer, a pool table, music in the background - sometimes loud sometimes not. I love that it's not pretentious and it proved to be a really great spot to gather with friends. Though, I will say, if you sit in the corner next to the pool table, you absolutely will have people asking you (or someone in your party) to move for them to take the shot.

Free darts and an AWESOME happy hour with 4 dollar whiskey wells. The pour was a fat one ;)

Great addition to the neighborhood. Capitol Hill has no shortage of bars but this is the kind of bar that hasn't turned into a place to see and be seen... yet. The layout is great, allowing plenty of seating for big groups or couples. There are different areas for people who just want a drink, or a small space that feels like somebody's living rooms for board games to a big area with stools and a pool table. I haven't even mentioned the upstairs area with even more bar games such as darts! Yes, this bar has a little of something for everybody. Even though there is not kitchen, you can order pizza to be delivered or bring in outside food which is a huge boon with Kedai Makan and Dinette being only a couple of doors down. Highly recommend for an after work drink or a weekend night out!
