    Your typical small town vibe dive bar. The bar is a bit small and has about 12 seats and three bar tables on the side. Free pool on Monday's and $1 off drafts. They also have pizza for sale if you get a little hungry. Nice bartenders, friendly people hanging out, and a couple of televisions to watch the game on. There's also a bulletin board by the door with local community events and ads.

    Love this place, great menu, great service, so chill and welcoming! Great neighborhood restaurant.read more

    I really liked the music (The Killers) and vibe on the bar side when we stopped in around 8 pm on a…read moreFriday night recently. We had a blast playing with a baby at the bar and my Coke was great. From the bar we entered the dining area- just past the bar- and since there was no one there to sit us we just sat down. We joined a table of friends who were finishing their meal, as there were open chairs at their table which was next to an open table for two. The waitress came over. We said "hi" and asked to place our dinner order, start a separate check so our friends could cash out. We offered to move to the nearby separate table for two, as this sounded upsetting to the staffer as she said she was getting off and couldn't take our order. We said that was fine and she could send over another staffer, we wanted to make things easy. But she just left, and was clearly angry at us. Eventually someone else came to take our order. Took quite a while to get the food and drinks, but they were good, especially the french fries. But then we were told we could not pay for our order, as it had been added to our friends' tab and they had unknowingly already paid for us when they cashed out. It was weird. We are sorry to have upset the waitress, but not sure what we could have done differently, as there was no one there to seat us and we thought we could sit at an open table or join our friends. Neither seemed to work for her that night. I would return for another visit. I like the neighborhood feel and free street parking.

    We were trying to go to another bar in the area on valentines and it was already full so we…read morestumbled over here and we were not disappointed. First thing is they have touch tunes so you can set your own vibes for the night. The decor and lighting is perfect. A lot of velvet seating and gold accents. It is a dog friendly space which is kind of random for a cocktail bar but I don't mind it. I pet 4 dogs. The bartenders were super nice. I ordered the "Yes you can buy me love" which was Espolon Tequila, Strawberry, Lime Juice, Triple Sec, Coconut Milk, Mint, Sugar Rim. It was really good. I also tried my husband's "Stuck in a Snowbank" which was state line coffee liqueur, bourbon cream, frangelico, cold brew. It basically tasted like a coffee that was a little sweeter. All the cocktails were great. Again I'm so glad we stumbled across this stop because even the bar goers were super nice.

    Stopped in to catch-up with a friend on a Wednesday night and was shocked at how busy they were!…read moreTurns out they had a cheese raffle that evening. How fun! The lounge has a moody vibe that you really wouldn't guess from the outside. It's the perfect place to escape the cold and warm up with a cozy cocktail. They also change their cocktail menu seasonally, offering something a little fun for each season. It's evident the owners care about the community, as they are frequently offering events to support local providers (River Valley Food Pantry on the night we were there), and have specials for those who we couldn't be without (hello nurses and teachers). They're also dog friendly!

When you walk in, the dim red lights and vinyl and moody bar set the scene instantly. We were seated right away - no line - on a Saturday evening. The decoration and ambiance inside is top tier! I got a mocktail with cardamom and cinnamon, and it wasn't my favorite - but that's okay. The food was a hit! They change the menu seasonally, and it had just changed. We split the pimento deviled eggs which were delicious. We also shared the spicy noodles and they were amazing - such incredible flavor. We didn't have enough room for pizza but were eyeing the St. Louis style one. The butterscotch pudding was phenomenal. Vibes were great and such a cool place to hang out!

Friendly, attentive and well informed without being overbearing or stuffy. Mid: the menu. It's all been fine buuut Cons: overpriced. It also gets too loud in here to have a conversation at times which is annoying. The space and menu also feels a whole lot like Natt Spil. I don't think it's owned by the same people but I don't know--maybe a little shady?
