Despite the pub’s seedy atmosphere, patrons settling in on the diner-style swivel chairs at the giant twin bars are more likely to bump up against smooth-shaven, polo-shirted guys and giddy sorority girls than the leather jacket and handlebar mustache set or world-weary bar flies. Although blaring rock music helps maintain the party atmosphere, those in need of more entertainment can try their luck at Pop-A-Shot or Buck Hunter along the back wall, write snarky comments on the chalkboard, or make a game of spotting the lip-locked preppy singles in the dark corners.
