They bill themselves as "The only restaurant in the world owned, managed, and staffed by HOBBITS." These little people are the staff and give the place character. The place was founded in 1973 with the purpose of giving little people a shot at running their own business. The bar has a Tolkien "Lord of the Rings Theme" and features some good music. The drinks are pricey but it's a tourist trap so you kind of expect it.
Lot's to drink in this place. The bartenders are of average height but all the wait staff is a bit shorter.
---------- (forget her name) is an outstanding waitress with a lot of enthusiasm. Her father was one of the "pioneers" getting the project off the ground. He has since passed away but her mum is still around. Freddy Aguilar plays several nights a week.
