Right next to one of favorite brunch spots, Cheryl's Global Soul, this bar is fantastic for a little afternoon day drinking. I've only been here a handful of times, all of them a cool experience. Visit while you can, as the lease wasn't renewed and this neighborhood icon is being priced out soon. :/
