    Free chili/hotdog happy hour is gone, but in its place is a series of $2 plates of high-end bar food: kobe sliders, meatballs, blt sliders, tacos, etc. More befitting the cool vibe.

    Kinda feel bad for the fish being terrorized by a mermaid and constant loud music. The place is a fun bar with good dance music. Ten dollar cover!!!

    First of all, the name is a misdirect. It's nothing like a dive bar. Second, stick around for the mermaid show.

    Came all the way from San Diego to see a mermaid. And she didn't feel like swimming... Don't count on the mythical creatures or having good service. Great look, everything else... Boo.

    It's cheesy, but they have a great HH special - $4 for all pints.

    They lie about the mermaid... Said she'd come out at 10pm and at 10:30 they said "she may be here. She's been around a lot." Otherwise, good.

    Expensive all around. And it's pretty loud 99% of the time. But the mermaid is really awesome!

    Try the Speakeasy White Lightning on tap, very nice, easy-to-guzzle wheat beer. Far superior to Widmer.

    This bar ain't all that. Mermaids are cool but they end too early so does the giant ipod usage. Good place to end the night!
