A newcomer on the Wharton scene, this spot’s great music and specialty drinks have Whartonites lined up outside until 2am. Hookahs make it exotic, but the small space can get cramped.

I would take great personal satisfaction in this place falling off the Wharton map. I echo all the criticisms above.

Historically popular for late night. The owner's a decent guy. The food's alright. The layout is terrible. I saw some random fellow obviously related to someone in the bar's management viciously assault a Wharton student who was doing nothing but being a very happy drunk. Maybe I'd still go when I'm out late on a quieter night. Sometimes you meet some pretty cool students from a lot of the other schools in the area, too; but all I can really say is, screw that place.

Very tight quarters, usually overcrowded, impossible to find a place to stand, let alone get a drink. Nice idea, hookah's and beers, but is simply too inconvenient. Chances are, though, you'll end up going, usually at some ridiciulous hour since they tend to serve late.
