Vibe: Quirky charm, dated interiors

Now, the ambiance might be a cause for concern for some patrons. The dingy, outdated interiors with bright, seemingly harsh lighting aren't the most welcoming. But in the spirit of brutally honest Steven Wright, the place has a certain quirky charm to it that can be endearing.

    Dingy, dirty and outdated interiors with bright lighting disrupt ambiance.
