The bar

Walking into this bar it reminded me of the Seinfield episode where Kenny Rogers roasters moved in across the street from Kramers apartment and his whole room looked like the red planet from the illuminet red neon chicken sign. This should not deter you however because this is a great place to wet your whistle. The crowd is a mash up from every corner of society. There is the work crowd, the hipsters, gangsters and of course the drunks. I am not sure what category I fall into but by the end of the night it was the latter. The bartenders are extremely nice  and very attentive. If you order a shot it comes in a rocks glass not the regular shot glasses you get at some bars. Then there are the mixed drinks all I have to say is wow! These drinks were very strong I am not complaing but if you order a rum and coke be prepared to drink a full glass of rum. Radio has great specials for students and very cheap drinks lets just say $30 will get you comfortably numb. The best nights to go are Thursday and Friday but come before 7pm or else seats are hard to come by. The bar is close to public transit so no need to do any riskey driving. Big up's to Radio I will be back!
