This is a lively neighborhood bar within walking distance of the loft. It's filled with tongue and cheek sacrilegious art created by the owner Grant Henry (aka Sister Louisa). It's can be a mess on Friday/Saturday nights, but fairly chill most other times. On Wednesday nights they do church organ karaoke, which can be a lot of fun.
