Unfortunately, that's all I can really comment on because three of us sat at the bar for about 15 minutes and, even though there was no one else there, the bartender never approached us. We ended up leaving without ordering anything. It was disappointing, especially given how empty the place was. Based on this experience, I don't plan to return. The lack of attention and service made it clear why the bar wasn't busy.

Drinks are on point whether you're into cocktails, mocktails, or just pretending your Sprite is fancy champagne, they've got you. The staff is hella nice too like the kind of people you don't mind bumping into when you're three songs deep on the dance floor. Plus, the brick walls and whole setup make it feel like you stepped into a cool hidden gem instead of just another bar. Honestly, it's the kind of place you show up "just for one" and end up shutting down the night. 10/10 would lose my voice here again.

We had a Casino Royale theme with casino tables upstairs, caterer and photographer downstairs. It was nice because this venue comes with a DJ, security and bar. There is a parking lot across the street that only charges $10. It doesn't need decorations so it's a one stop shop. While we did have some hiccups day of, they were resolved and the owner was very receptive to the feedback. I would recommend this place and absolutely book here again if I were to host an event.

The first thing I had when I arrived with a glass of water and a Cuba libre, basically a rum and Coke with a twist of lime. Our drinks came up quick and they were delicious. The service was great. This is a nice spot. I hadn't been here since they had changed his name. It used to be a different club here, but I have to say the place is very nice. They have big giant TV screens and it looks very festive in there. It's very clean. The restrooms are clean and it just happens that it's accessible if you happen to need an accessible location.. They had a food truck outside that served delicious food and there was plenty of space in a DJ. I have to say I'd be happy to go here again. There was parking right across the street. It was free and there was a security guard there at the lot. here again anytime and I'd highly recommend it. If you want to give an event there they would accommodate you.
