there is totally a patchouli stink in the air as the champaign-urbana hipsters sample beers of the world.... \n\nthat being said, it's not terrible.  the bar itself is inviting, and there are a lot of different beers to enjoy at a incredibly fair price.  the bartenders do know their stuff, too.  if you have questions or need a beer suggestion, they can usually steer you in the right direction.  \n\nwhile you will have to passively listen to conversations about which bands aren't awesome anymore because they are being played on main stream radio, it is not terribly loud, and you can easily have a conversation with your party.  i don't mind going here.  it's not my first choice, but it wouldn't be my last.
