    Older, regular crowd. Yes, everybody knows everybody's name and the bartender usually has their drinks ready before they sit down. Simple, no frills. There's only a couple choices for bourbon, a couple Scotches, Jack, two tequila choices...basic bar. They aren't infusing anything. They aren't creating mixology. They are pouring a stout drink and a cold beer, Nikki is the afternoon bartender and she takes great care of everyone. Monday's have $2 domestics. Sunday they have food during football. There are pool tables, steel tip darts, a jukebox that never gets too loud. Afternoon crowd watches Jeopardy. Smoking on their large patio. Parking up front. the strip center is nearly empty so it looks a little worse for wear but don't be alarmed. I had been looking for a simple, friendly neighborhood dive bar near home for some time. Here it is. It opens early. I am an afternoon drinker. Finding a place that will make me a Jack and Coke or a shot of tequila at 1 or 2 in the afternoon is difficult. Most of my favorite bars don't open til 4. By then I plan on being home and fixing dinner.

    If going twice in two nights when visiting from L.A. isn't a testament to a great bar, I don't know…read morewhat is. I ate at Norigami Tuesday night and it was great as were the cocktails served up at the nextdoor bar called Hidden Bar. On Tuesday, I tried the Thai Chili Ginger Margarita ($13) and it was great, complete with a hunk of candied ginger which I "gingerly" consumed throughout my drink experience...see what I did there? Next, I had the Three Dots and a Daiquiri ($13) with Rum, Lime, Velvet Falernum, All Spice and Pineapple and it was very similar to one of my favorite tiki drinks, the Three Dots and a Dash, complete with 3 luxardo cherries. To finish, I had the absolutely incredible Golden Laurel ($16) with Gin, Italicus Bergamot, House Greek Botanical Bitters and Sea Salt. It is equally beautiful served with a clear bay leaf and delicious. Last night, I was guided by the friendly bartender to try the Et Tu Banana" ($15) with Banana Bourbon, Spiced Pear, Creme de Banane, Campari and Citric Acid. I was a little worried about the cocktail being overly banana-y but it wasn't at all. It was a fantastic drink. For my last call, he recommended the Left Hand ($13) with Bourbon, Campari, Sweet Vermouth and Chocolate Bitters. Again, fantastic. Both nights, the bartenders and drinks were fantastic. Ambiance is nice with moody lighting. They even have a bidet toilet seat in the bathroom! Hidden Bar is a "hidden" gem, for sure. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

They even have a selfie ring light on the wall, which is such a fun touch for pictures (because if you didn't take pics, did you even go??) Now--fair warning--we went on a Friday night and it was PACKED. We were lucky enough to find seats, but it was so crowded we could barely talk without yelling, and we were basically shoulder-to-shoulder with the people around us Other than that, it's a really nice spot to grab drinks, hang out with friends, and get some cute content. Would I go again? Yes... just maybe not on a Friday night

    This place was actually not what I expected. I went originally for a salsa and Bachata dance class…read more I ended up showing up way early, so I got food ahead of time. They have a limited menu but everything is pretty healthy or a late bite to eat. I ended up getting the margarita pizza which is a wood fired pizza and it was delicious! I got two drinks while I was Ciao Bella and the blackberry mule. Both were delicious but the Ciao Bella was my favorite. the class was very fun easy to learn, and the instructor was very patient with us the class was almost like a speed dating event because you do a little bit of the lesson and then they clap and you move onto the next partner but it's open to couples as well if you don't want to switch. The bar space is actually pretty small but the outdoor patio is the main event. That's where everyone hangs out and dances.

    Dropped in here at Ivy for a quick catch up lunch with a friend. The vibe of the restaurant is very…read morecutesy and quaint. The inside seating is nice and cozy with good music and the patio/rooftop is very nice. The cocktail menu has some variation for most palettes and are all reasonably priced. I ordered the Roma which was very good. The bubbles from the kombucha give it a nice subtle effervescence. The spiced rum and blood orange mesh very well together making for a great drink. My friend ordered the Lavender Cucumber Collin's. This drink didn't really put the lavender on the forefront which lead to it getting lost by the cucumber, same for the crème de violets, absent. The drink was overall refreshing and tasty to her standards. She let me know it was quite strong also, which she prefers. She also ordered the kale Caesar and really enjoyed it. It was perfectly sauced to her liking. Service was okay. Looks like there was only 2 people working for a midday shift around 2 o clock. But no complaints. Salad and drinks came out pretty quickly. The place was pretty empty, definitely looks like I could hold a nice little crowd. Overall a solid 4 stars and warrants a repeat visit so I can try out the food and appetizers.

    What a gem of a food hall!! With lots of food options to pick from, there's bound to be something…read morefor everyone! I love that they have all day happy hour on Tuesdays at the bar also! You can see their happy hour menu on their website. Greg (the bartender) is the absolute best! It was like he read my mind and brought me a drink right when I was going to ask for one on multiple occasions. This place is so spacious with plenty of seating! There's even the "Roxy Room" upstairs which you can rent out for any private events. For the food, you order at one of the food stands that you like and receive a text when it's ready to get picked up. I was so torn inbetween all the options that were presented to me, but decided to go with Blk Mkt Birria. Their birria tacos were great! There was something slightly spicy about them (maybe the tortilla since it was a literal red color?) so if you are SUPER sensitive to spice I wouldnt order these. They did have limited edition Birria Tamales which I just HAD to try. Honestly they were just a tad bit dry on their own but drenching it in the Birria consommé (which is what the consommé was meant for) it was great! I need to come back here to try all the other food vendors! I already know the bar is a vibe so I gotta see if each genre of food will have my mind blown :) Next time I come, I do wanna try Mad Dogs, the Pita-Ria, Seoulside, Bird Haus, or Cvche. But I only have one stomach so I think it'll take multiple times coming here to try all the food I want, but it's ok it's totally worth!

After ordering, you can seat at any of the open table. They will send a text when you order is ready for pickup. I tried the Birria Tacos with the dip. It was very tasty. It comes in 3s so plenty of food. Also ordered a side of guacamole. I was stuffed by the end. Did not have room of dessert. Would go back to try the other food stalls. Nice ambiance with music playing in the background.
