"Close to the train station and close to Old Town is a big plus! What I didn’t like is that there is no incentive to the bar. We were told when we arrived the hours of Happy Hour only to find out that there is no Happy Hour from the bartender. It was a quiet lonely bar area while we were there and we left to another establishment. Bring back a Happy Hour menu to include food beer and wine. "
