So I went to Mulligans, a slightly-below-average bar on on W Main St. on a Monday night hoping to play ping pong with my girlfriend. At the most, there were ten people in the bar. There were three pool tables open: 1 was converted to a ping pong table and was being used by two people. The other two pool tables were not being used by anyone - and by anyone, I mean these tables were completely idle. No one lined up to play, no one even thinking about lining up to play. I asked the manager if we could place a ping pong table on top of one of the idle pool tables (the table top is sitting in plain sight of the pool table) and he said no. I asked him why, particularly because they were so very, very idle and he told me, "That's what the owner wants." I left, immediately, with my wallet. So, unless you are interested in doing exactly what the owner wants you to do on the night he (or she) wants you to do it, I'd skip this bar. No real character or hospitality - it's run by people who really don't understand customer service - and I've eaten there before and I promise you that all they serve is the same kind of re-heated CostCo food that every other slightly-below-average bar on W Main St serves. You aren't missing anything here.
Pros: No crowds, quiet, the female bartenders are friendly.
Cons: No Parking, Expensive, Male Manager is Not At All hospitable, degrading treatment.
