I figured that I would check out 2nd Wind on my way home from work for Karaoke. I got there a little after midnight and was there for a little over an hour. It’s a vibrant place, full of life. The bartender was friendly. The beer taps seemed to be out of service. The back patio was nice but dark. it would have been nicer and more festive if the lights were on. However, the karaoke was less than ideal. The microphone level seemed too low, as though it was only going through the monitor speaker on the stage, while the music was pumped to multiple speakers.

They do a great job bringing in free local music and getting the place full up with good people. My only gripe is that they really need to fix the sound.

Pretty good divebar. No artisanal cocktails or anything, and the bartenders sometimes don't know simple drinks (asked for a pimm's cup, had to tell them the recipe, among other cocktails). Selection is somewhat limited, but the service is generally prompt and pprofessional, and the place is a lot of fun. Their porch is also very nice, as is their live music/karaoke/open mic nights.
Bartender knowingly overserved someone who came in so drunk he could barely walk, so drunk he didn't even start the drink he paid for before driving off. The bartender thought that someone driving who was too drunk to walk was funny and didn't bother calling 911 like any decent person would have. Guess he cared more about money and tips than everyone else's safety.
