I visited the Waverly for the first time last night, and I will definitely be going back, should I find myself nearby and in need of a drink.  I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way unless there was a special event, but if I lived within a couple of blocks I would definitely drop by from time to time.  The space itself is really great, full of small corners that are both sheltered and open to the rest of the space, on multiple levels. The music playing wasn't too loud, was varied and just good overall background music.  The ceiling is beautiful, covered in wooden slats arranged in a geometric pattern, so if you visit, be sure to look up!  \n\nI didn't experience high prices like other reviewers have mentioned.  Granted, we went on a Sunday evening (special specials perhaps?), but the special of pint of Boreal for $5.25 is quite reasonable to me, for such a nice location.  Perhaps the other drinks are more costly?  They didn't have a price list or menu, so I didn't see what other drinks cost.  Or perhaps I've come to accept that drinks at a bar can get pricey.  If I want to drink cheaply, I drink at home :)
