No cover, outdoor patio for smokers, pool for sharks and lots of space to mingle. Great for large groups.

It is a good bar. Good beer, decent prices, and relaxed atmosphere. I like it also because of the DJ actually plays some of the music i like which is a rarity in DJ's.

Pros: Good prices on alchohol

Cons: Too crowded sometimes

It's a good bar when they have parties for group or organizations but if you just to pickup some while that your place to be but once it's crowded you can not move freely you would have to navigate moving around not a atmosphere to be in if you are doing a one on one date. but a good hang out for younger adults

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I've been going to this place for years, and I still love it. The deejays play good music, not cheesy pop crap, there's tables, an outdoor patio, a bar inside and out, good beer on tap, good prices, free peanuts (you can throw shells on the floor), and you can go casual or dressed up. Crowd is usually large, but friendly. I've never had a bad time here. Plus, how can you beat no cover charge?

Pros: no cover, music, cheap, good beer

Cons: gets crowded

good for not charging a cover...does get a bit crowded sometimes esspecially when raining out and they close the patio...when its real crowded it can be a pain in the ass to get a beer...but that is why they have two bars inside and one on the patio

A well-loved venue for those who refuse to pay a cover charge to have a good time, Pig's Eye is one bar that is a must on any night of bar crawling! The crowd is a good mix of people ranging from the eternal college crowd to the 30-something crowd sipping their microbrews. The people who work there are very friendly, especially the doormen. The drinks are sizable, the prices not over-inflated. Dressed up or dressed down...this is a good spot!

Pros: No cover

Cons: Sometimes too crowded

Editor's Review

There's no food, but there is an astounding array of beer on tap and in the bottle.  See the full editorial review.
