This does NOT seem like the kind of place the dude would visit. Ever. But I won't let that affect this review.\n\nMy first major gripe is the layout. You walk in the door, BAM, you're in the bar line. And drunken peeps do not want to let people through. Straight up, first impression is tainted.\n\nSecond gripe is the live music. I've been a few times and the music often feels completely out of touch with the venue. Also, when the bar is busy it feels like the musician is playing in the middle of the line for the bar. Which is also where the front door is. And there is so much space out the back!\n\nFinal gripe: The full potential of the Lebowski theme is unrealized. Yep, the white russians are pretty good but more should be done than just painting murals of Jeff Bridges and John Goodman. Bowling paraphernalia, a rug, more inspiring uniforms etc. I love The Big Lebowski and I know the owner does too. If the theme was pushed in a more Lebowski-esque manner, ALL my pound-sterling-dubloons would be thrown unconditionally at this bar. Until then, I label this place 'a probably worth seeing once' kinda place.
