It's just off of Fulton, on the eastern side of downtown. Great bar; at one point, it was my favorite bar in Grand Rapids.

In my eyes, there are two possible explanations as to why people smoke around non-smokers:
1. They are so completely self-centered and stupid that they are completely oblivious to the fact that someone else might not want to breathe smoke.
2. They are completely self-centered and they know that they are infringing on other peoples' rights, but they don't care.

Bah. That's prejudice for you. What rights am I infringing on by smoking near non-smokers? Am I really causing more health damage than, say, the smog in LA? When I go to the beach, I'm completely aware that people might not want to see my in my bathing suit -- does that make me a self-centered bastard for doing so? I'm sick and tired of people treating smokers like they eat babies or something.
