The layout inside feels a bit like a patchwork of brick alleys stitched together, an explosion of graffiti and stickers. Because each room unfolds into the next through a brick-lined portal, the space feels a bit like a maze the first time through, the front room home to the main Wits End bar. A long set of taps is complemented by an equally formidable signature cocktail menu suspended above the bar. This is a tight space easy to envision getting slammed on a busy night, some low seating available here during lighter times making for great bar adjacent drinking.
This first room also includes the eye catching indoor feature as well, the sawed off half of a food truck jutting out of the wall opposite the bar. The vehicle’s history seems to be ice cream truck related, but over time the area has become home to a TV, some string lights and an all-purpose area that seems to rotate purpose as needed.
Through portal number one, let’s say the one just to the right of the half-truck, a surprisingly large room unfolds packed with games, like a Dave & Busters yard sale spilled out into a city alley. Pool tables, punching bag game, foosball, Golden Tee, pop-a-shot, the Wits End competitive options are plentiful back here, again a place that can get well jammed up on a weekend night but during an off period is probably the best dive bar gaming option in the area.
