Offering shots to a table of noticeably disgruntled people does not rectify forgetting to put in a food order. Forget the DJ on a Wednesday night, stop letting your waitstaff drink on the job, and just do what you are trying to do-- be a cool looking bar, offer decent food, and make quality drinks.

I am new to the area and I wanted a dive bar night. I hit Yelp up to help me find a few places, this was one of them. I had chose 3 from yelp to go to in one night and this was my second stop. It is not as divey as the previous reviews in my opinion. It is clean, well lit, and the furniture is in good condition. These qualities are opposite of a dive bar. It seemed to me that the customers were all regulars. there is one pool table in the center of the bar and a jukebox. Someone thought we would all enjoy three 311 songs in a row. Not so much. The beer specials are great. i don't think I will be returning, the stares from the regular customers made me uncomfortable and the only thing dive bar about it is the stinky bathroom.

The good: Mac and cheese was perfect Easy valet parking Manager tried to rectify a bad situation Citrus salmon was perfectly done The bad: The chopped salad was drenched in dressing and the lettuce pieces were huge. The service - the staff seemed busy with larger parties and we were an afterthought. The salad plate wasn't cleared before steaks came... Made for a crowded table. We asked for our wine to be served with dinner and we had to ask for it after the food came out (next time we will just ask for it right away!) One of our 4 wasn't happy with the color of his steak...(I find the interpretation of rare/medium/well varies) After a send back the color was better but the steak was covered in a liquid... They said it was au jus but the first steak didn't have it...the manager was kind enough to take it off the bill...the other two steaks were above average but not as good as we were expecting. I wanted to like this steakhouse - there is one down the street from me in DC and I had heard good things. The steak and service didn't justify the price and hype. I would travel to Arlington or East of the River to have Ray's instead.

They close too early and the prices on the used records are ridiculous! I blame hipsters for that because before the hipster plague this place was where you could go in with 20 bucks and come out with atleast 4 or 5 records. Good if you collect kitchy junk I guess.
