text: Take a Break or TAB as I have started campaigning for it to be called is one of the few sketchyasallhell bars in Lawrenceville that I do not enjoy Let us start with how freaking hot it is in there nnThe place is kept at a subtropical level that is uncomfortable for anyone under the age of coincidentally the temperature I believe the thermostat to be set at AND they allow smoking inside Now smoking indoors is one thing and keeping your bar hot as blazes is another but doing them together Oof nnWhen the inconvenient truth that is global climate change catches up with us the entire world is going to feel like the inside of TAB a smoky humid nightmare nnTAB boasts a truly bizarre mix of people even for a Pittsburgh dive and on any given night you will see local hipsters elderly drunks businessmen that look like they are in the mafia and a sprinkling of yuppies kicking back whiskey and cokes and PBRs nnThe bartenders are slow slow slow even when the bar is dead dead dead however they do have sweet pool tables and darts
