About

The Dirty Bottles has a rich history and a great location, but recent changes have left many regulars disappointed. While some still enjoy the atmosphere and the food, many complain about the shift to a chain-like feel and inconsistent service. It's a beautiful building, but the experience can be a bit of a gamble.
