by Dave A. on In 1642 I sailed the ocean blue....*scratches head* naaah, where can I go with that? Near 1642, up the street, there are people without shoes... Okay, true, hey that rhymes too, but what does that say about the bar? It merely speaks of the neighborhood. In 1642 you'll find a bar that's true. *getting excited* Yes, it's a bar of integrity. Eclectic music like the Flaming Lips play Dark Side Of The Moon followed by Billy Holiday. No distracting TV's. Peanuts and pretzels on the bar... In 1642 you'll find much local brew...*YES!* Wonderful selections on tap. Eagle Rock brewery goodness and schmancy wines. In 1642, it's all about you! Brick walls, hiding place in the back, plain vanilla tables, and your conversation. Get all intellectual and shtuff. Well, there may be a little incense wafting about to inspire you. When I say incense, I really mean incense, not what you're thinking. In 1642, you're near the Derby Doll crew! It's just a couple of blocks away. Make it an evening. Combine the two! So whether you're Sue, Lou, or Drew, groups of five, four or two, get your Boo and head on down to, what was that address again?
by Saul Anguiano on i've held my birthday party here for the past 2 years, first time it was great, BYOB and they even let us order take out. last year, was not so great, they charged us per person PLUS per hour, and then people who weren't even part of our party started to come in and then they would charge us for them too even if the person was literally in there for a second, and then they bring us 2 bottles of black label (when no one ordered it and no one drank it because we had our own booze) and at the end of the night, they charge the bottles to our tab at $60 per bottle and after i tried to fight that we didn't order it and we didn't touch it, they still made us pay for it and then they had to nerve to pull me back and tell me that tip wasn't covered. and that they require 15% for tip- meaning for our bill it was over $80!! in frustration to get them away i slammed down my credit card and paid, i shouldn't of but i did. i always try to avoid this place now. never again!
