Lonely Planet review

The riffraff congregating in this atmospheric Decatur St dive tend to dress in black. The place has a faded and jaded port of call feel to it, with blasé female bartenders, transient hipsters and shifty-eyed characters. You needn't be pierced or tattooed to fit in, but a little Joe Strummer/Suicide Girl swagger won't hurt.

The jukebox reflects these sensibilities, but also includes rocking sides by the original Man in Black. And if you're seeking Lee Hazelwood's brand of trouble, the juke here has that covered too. At least stop by for a shot of Jack if you're prowling the Lower Quarter.
