Okay. How much do I love the gutted Hardy Boy books as menus? I never went here when it was A Bar Named Sue, but the contemporary, if not overtly hipster-ish changes - i.e., the aforementioned menus, sleek design, bartender with ironic facial…More »

During a party, my brother ordered a couple of pizzas and wings from this place. Two pizzas and wings typically costs about $35, so it's convenient munchie patrol food.
