This bar is the final destination on approximately four out of five nights when I'm out with my boyfriend. It's his neighborhood bar and it's about to become mine, too, so I'm glad Grace and I get along. The menu is limited but the selections are solid. Plus, the kitchen is open late, which is both a very good (drunken munchies) and very bad (morning food regret) thing. People rave about the burgers although I haven't yet tried one. At 1 a.m. I'm usually getting down with the blackened green beans, chicken fingers or fries, which come with a garlic dipping sauce. I am also a fan of the chicken waldorf salad. The rolls used for the sausage sandwiches are absolutely massive, which takes away from the otherwise awesome sausage, but I'd still recommend the sammies, regardless. The beer selection is always great, and the bartenders definitely know their stuff. When I inquired about the 21st Amendment Hop Crisis on tap last weekend, Leo warned me it was an 11% brew. Then he said he would not carry me home if I chose to drink it. Fair enough! I had two, but only because I had gone easy on the boozies earlier in the night. Overall, I feel like Grace has everything a neighborhood bar should have (including the inevitable neighborhood drunkard makin' a fool at the end of any given night). Cheers!

I think the "Meh. I've experienced better" line that comes with two stars accurately represents this place. I gave it two stars because I was on the list and didn't have to pay cover. Also, I am grateful for the bartender who poured me a couple incredibly stiff Effen Cherry and Sodas. Otherwise, if it weren't for the crew I was with, I don't think I would've stayed at this place very long. Drinks were pricey, music was TERRIBLE, and the venue was way too packed to even move. And the decor? Well, it was very reminiscent of Hollywood circa 2004.

Disclaimer: at no time was I sober during my visit to this establishment. I mean, it was fine, and I had a good time, drunk. Cover was $5. I got my drink in a reasonable time, the music was decent if a bit ADD (they played something like 45 second clips of songs, from most of what I could tell, drunk). The crowd was okay. The layout seems less than ideal, and there is too much of a people jam to get from one place to another or find people or dance in certain areas, drunk. Not as much character as MJQ. And boy, did my dress smell awful when I left - maybe no more awful than any other smoky place, but not as worth it for some reason.
