I can't really comment on the food having usually eaten somewhere else before hitting the Black Rose, but their drinks have always been quality. My favorite thing about this place is the mixed crowd. There are young, college-aged people as well as older, middle-aged people. On my last visit my friend and I who are in our mid20s had a great chat with a group of middle aged lawyers sitting across from us. There are always tourists, that's unavoidable, but a great mix of locals as well.
Pros: mixed crowd, convenient location
Cons: can get noisy, can get crowded
