Frommer's Review
For years, this place has been an informal hangout spot for locals. It's in a two-story building that was a former bar and brothel that dates back to 1890. The building leans a bit. It's definitely noticeable, and the curious effect it produces in most who view it is the desire for a drink. That's what the bar is counting on. The atmosphere here is quite cheerful and the food is good, too. You'll find comfort food -- rib-eye steaks, crab cakes, and the like -- and a lot of original dishes as well. There are many choices among the salads and sandwiches -- some of these are original, too. The entrees on the daily menu often show a good bit of flare. I've often found things that have grabbed my attention and satisfied my palate.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
