I’ve been coming here for quiet sometime, The Owners are pretty much great people,very cool and laid back, what I love about this place is that Varnish not only has the most traffic but it welcomes all races & people, it’s also the one place where you can dance, sing or even mosh (lightly). It’s a really fun, young and …
