No thanks

No thanks. Went in for happy hour and it was as if I were a monster. Everyone that works there is a douche because the clientele has rubbed off on them. Douche + Douche = Colostomy Bag.

AVOID at all costs.

Well, you’ve seen them, of course - the primped throngs eternally lining West Burnside for the chance to enter Aura (on Harry Potter release nights, as the crowds waiting outside directly-opposite Powell’s Books stare daggers, the world’s silliest rumble ever threatens.) And, weirdly, passing through the gates, it’s almost worth pacing an hour through drizzle.
