"What a cool bar. It's like this dive bar. There's like eight different rooms. It's all wood, just dirty, beer soaked wood. Weird shit hanging from the ceilings from it being around for like 800 years. Love it. It's jam packed. You go downstairs and everyone's in there. It's dark. It's seedy. Low ceilings. It feels great." - Mark Normand
From Yelp:
★★★★★ “Such a fun place! It is one of my favorite bars in DC. Wednesday's are my favorite with the free stand-up down stairs and half price burgers. Definitely worth stopping in.”
★★★★ “I heard about a free comedy show on Wednesdays at [8] so my group strolled on by. It was located in the basement. It was a lot of fun and very enjoyable. There's seating near the stage, but most people opt to stand by the back. There's a bar down there as well in case you wanted to get a drink as you laugh. I'd definitely come back!”
