5th Ave. near 18th Street
Ellis Bar tries my nerves. Even a cool mug of beer didn’t help entirely. The first visit, it was little kids running around while their parents sat in the corner and ignored them, and the second time, it was the music. The bartender saw the place wasn’t crowded, and put on her loud, metallic favorites. I get the message; there are other places in the neighborhood.

I agree. I’ve been there when the loud stuff was bouncing off the floors, walls and ceilings of the place. Doesn’t belong in a bar like that, but each to his or her own, I guess.
