It really speaks volumes when not a single review has been written about this place in a year.I don't think I've ever actually straight-up walked out of a place within the first five minutes of sitting down. But then....today....THAT happened.This place is what I would best describe as....low hanging fruit. As in...low effort, not much to be expected, bar wise. I suppose if you're looking for mixed drinks and hardcore liquor, this is the place for you. But I automatically give a place the ol' red flag if they don't even serve your basic wine selection.We've gone over this. Wine is a pretty common thing to find at a bar. At the very LEAST...your usual suspects (I.E. Merlot, Chardonnay, hell...even White Zinfandel, if you're feeling particularly sophomoric).Ya wanna know what really killed it for me though? The noise. This place is too f**king loud for me to think, much less hold a conversation.I can't quite put my finger on it. But for some reason, places like Clicks Billiards can get this sort of thing right. I dunno what it is, but that place has acoustics that compliment the sound of music without becoming overbearing to the point of not hearing the person next to you.Basically, if I can't even enjoy a conversation with the people around me and I can't even order basic red wine, I'm certainly not hesitating to give a place like this 1 disgruntled, overly anxious patron walking out the front door after just 5 minutes of sheer auditory agony...out of 5.Don't even get me started on how I ended up here in the first place.
