It's a cavernous space, so it takes a *lot* of people before it feels crowded.

This place seems like it's pretty nice, except for the fact that it's actually douche-central.
Robin Taylor RothAugust 23, 2014
Very high (almost excruciating!) noise level, because there are no absorbing surfaces.

There's nothing special about this place but it's a big step up from the frattiest east village bars and restaurants.
