What people say, in short
Boardner's draws Hollywood recommendations for an older-school bar atmosphere. One visitor praises the value of the happy-hour food, and another likes the burger at the bar. A commenter values its long-standing character, while another disputes the dive-bar label. Separate Bar Sinister dance events should not be confused with the ordinary bar experience.
