    Ladies. If its your first time here, heads up on the bathroom. They have a broken door for one stall and the locks are bent up on another stall to the point you can't even lock it.

    This place is awesome when it's empty. Visit immediately after work and then head out. I've actually never been here when it's dark outside.

    This place is decent early on in the evening but becomes rather obnoxious late night. Come early and leave early and night cap somewhere else.
