Editorial Review for Hi Fi – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Local rock kids spend their nights kicking back in the big booths, watching VH-1 Classic on the TV and flirting around the world's first mp3 jukebox, known to regulars as "El DJ." The bar has about 3,000 full albums on tap, and the playlist continues to grow alongside proprietor Mike Stuto's vast and fascinating, rock-focused record collection. A pool table, pinball machine and other video games fit the divey vibe.

I've been here a few times now and I enjoy myself every time. It's cheap. The crowd is down-to-earth. Most of the time the crowd is at the perfect level...not empty, but not totally jammed. I've heard great things about the jukebox, but I've never felt the need to go check it out myself because I've never experienced an intolerable run of crappy music. Overall a good place to hang out and grab a few drinks with friends. I noticed complaints about the crowd. Yeah...if you're looking for a meat market, go somewhere where the beers cost $9/bottle. This isn't your place.
Pros: Atmosphere, Jukebox, Vibe
Cons: Bar area can get crowded

You have to know what to expect and if you do you receive just that. Good times. Good prices. Great jukebox. Not too many attract females or people for that matter, but go early with a group of friends, get a booth, get lots of drinks and wait an hour and a half to an hour and forty five minutes for your songs to play. I dare you to try to stump the box (no pink floyd). If you want to be semi-antisocial there's a pool table if you want to be completely antisocial there's a pacman and pinball machine. Enjoy.
Pros: Jukebox, Cheap drinks
Cons: Long waits for songs
