Cozy and friendly. Pool tables, dart boards, snack machine, bar. Everything a local needs. First time I set foot in, it felt like home.\n\nA lot of reviews call this a dive. The people claiming this seem to never have been in an actual dive. They mean 'dive' in a trendy, hipster sense. This is a local. A neighborhood bar. It serves PM and whatever is nearby. The crowd tends to be very local, and upper-20's to early 40's. They don't have the space to serve a bunch of scenesters in skinny pants, wearing dresses over jeans, and clogging up the jukebox with Death Cab for Cutie. If this is the kind of 'dive' you're looking for, please look elsewhere.\n\nThe pool tables are free; they're old pay tables with some of the mechanism removed, and are of a size and quality that reflect this. They're good enough for me, but if you're looking for quality tables, visit Dilworth Billiards. If, on the other hand, you want to see other people playing, EB is your spot. (The table nearest the door has the best visibility for after-work play, the table nearest the bar tends to have the best 'view'.)\n\nThe dart boards are pretty well maintained, but the tables nearby back up to the traffic line to the bathroom, so that area can get crowded on a busy night. They've also added a smoking deck, through a door left of the bar.\n\nI tend to order beer appropriate to the situation, usually Rolling Rock, so I can't speak to the quality of the drinks. Last time I looked, checking in on foursquare got you a free shot with your first beer, FWIW.\n\nThis is my local, go-to, default thing to do. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
