"Shrimp and Oyster Po'boy - simple and tasty as it should be - no gourmet bullshit"

"Ask for a taste of unfamiliar beers - if the bar is super-busy, keep cocktail orders simple - want a good clean beer - have a Radeberger - nice whiskey - Bulleit Bourbon or Rye"

"Lamb burger is truly good - but Wednesday night jazz is great"

"My favorite off-menu cocktail as recommended by one of these fine bar chefs: "Remember the Maine" circa 1933. The library is steamy so make a reservation in advance."

"Come for brilliant burlesque, music, and comedy - and who doesn't like boobs?"

"Not a great value for a neighborhood spot - but the food is really good and the atmosphere is coffeehouse chill. Vegans will enjoy. My faves are the country salad (w tofu or chicken) & fish tacos."
