***** It is an ok nothing more

Logan's Circle is a great area that adds to the review for Playbill. It seem more like a neighborhoob bar. The people are friendly and welcome new comers, but you surely will not find many young people there if you are looking tor them.

***** Good Drinks & Nice Staff, Give it a Try
Posted: June 03, 2008
I've been here 2x and enjoyed the food and drinks both nights. This is what I would typify as a true neighborhood bar. The cheap, stuffy couch and oversized-stuffed bear with sun glasses give it a "homey" feel (if you live, say, in a trailer in PA). Despite that it could use a good cleaning, I like the bar staff and they make good drinks. Each time I was there, the person next to me pointed out the owner sitting at the bar who seemed quite drunk, so one gets the feeling he crashes there most days. Drunk, but nice and holding a dog. I'm generally not into having dogs at eye or food level, but somehow it all seemed to fit the bar and by then the good long island had kicked in! I plan to go back.

***** I'd agree with Devlin

Definately a casual locals hangout. Kinda old school in decor. Crowd seemed friendly.

***** Friendly, local, low-keyed place.
First to Review - January 23, 2007
Not a destination bar, but a local bar for local people. No great shakes, but if you just want a drink or two and a chat with your friends, without having to put up with the posing and posturing at the "it" bars, then this is the place you want to be.
