The reason I am adding this place is because I thought it was a unique concept - it is bar + barbershop. You walk in, get a beer, and get your haircut. It is also family friendly, with a separate play area for kids. My son was with me, and while I had a beer, he played. We both got our haircuts, and for the record, we got two really terrific haircuts (he’s almost 5 - his haircut was easily the best he’s had in his entire life). This is a cool place...in an old house with the bar connected by a door to the hair cutting (but with beer going back and forth). Sean the barber is from Ireland and has been cutting hair a long time. His shop is an homage to Ireland, complete with soccer on the TV’s, etc. Selection is a bit of a weakness...they have 2 taps, but that is 2 more than any other barber shop I’ve been to. He had Smithwick’s and Guinness on tap, and a few BMC/boring imports in the cooler. Still, Smithwick’s or Guinness with your haircut is a good deal. The place isn’t cheap, but I thought it worth it.
