The Scoop - Editorial Review by Austin Hunt

For one reason or another, Dillon's never quite makes the final turn to the home stretch. Sure, it's got a standard front bar, a well placed side seating area, a fine mid-level lounge and a cleverly plotted back area for larger groups. Yet it still feels strangely empty and without soul, like a drinking dungeon, and the people who come in have always seemed nasty. This bar does not fit a stereotype, but it loses something in the way of personality because it is so faceless. On fridays there are hordes of people in the 23-33 range, but the black color scheme and tall warehouse ceilings leave a hole that's hard to fill in.
