I always knew what type of bar this was, but never cared to check it out despite passing by it all the time. Finally got around to checking it out recently and will definitely keep this place in rotation now!
It's a little on the smaller side, but it certainly has that neighborhood bar vibe. It's divey but nothing wrong with that since I personally enjoy dive bars... Usually anyway.
The reason why I'm a fan now is because the drinks are fairly priced! I ordered a couple of Tito's and soda water for me and the homie and when I got the tab I was shocked in a good way.
Another big plus is their jukebox and its catalog of music. I listen to "electronic dance music" almost exclusively. I'm using that term as a catch-all for all the EDM subgenres even though I absolutely loathe that term. *Hops off of my high horse* Anyway, I plugged in a few of the bigger artists I assumed would be on there and surprise surprise, they had some decent artists/tracks to choose from! Touch Tunes seems to be the main jukebox at most bars, but Ami has a much better selection of music to choose from, at least for someone like me who doesn't listen to mainstream.
Couple downsides. Not that I'm any good at pool (I'm downright awful), but it gets a little awkward when you need to hit the ball where people are sitting. Also with dive bar territory comes dive bar restrooms... Absolutely vile. Someone threw up in the sink when I was there last time and the whole restroom stunk of vomit. Come on bro. You really couldn't make it to the toilet which was like, what, 1 foot away from the sink? Some rookie type shit.
I will definitely be back at some point, just trying to chill on the drinking for a little while!
