Pseudo-Dive Bar

This place is just OK. I know this is listed as a "dive bar" on this site, but I really don't think it's as much a dive as a trendy hotspot. It's too contrived and it seems to try too hard to be a dive bar. The people are a little too hip and probably go there because going to "dive" bars may be in now, but anyone who has been to the Poodle Dog or Lala's can tell the real thing.

Pros: Outdoor seating, Johnny Cash theme

Cons: Fake
