Great Place to Party Or Chillax

In the FQ but away from the "straight" crowd. Can stop in on your way to or from anywhere you want to go in the quarter. 24hrs. Cheap drinks, great atmosphere. Bartenders are never too busy to chat you up if that's your thing or they are happy to let you be. Can be a little clicky after the quarter rats get off work, but not if you are outgoing. Just say hi and they'll be happy to have a drink with you.
