“ Lange’s Lounge is dive bar perfection - great for low-key night out with your crew, pre-gaming or final night round in your way home. Note: No food, this is a bar Bartender was great: relaxed but always there when someone’s drink was running low. Diverse crowd made for great people watching. Tunes were rocking but not too loud for conversation. On our Saturday night visit it was half full at 9:30 and nearly full (but not packed) at 11 when we left. Didn’t try the pool table or darts but both are there. Most common order seen was beer and a shot. ”
