So I guess it depends on who's working whether I'd go back or not.

There is an older jukebox available to play music, and the sound in that place was really great. They were closed during the pandemic I believe, but now they are open again. A week after we visited there someone vandalized the back or side of the building with graffiti, which is unfortunate! It's a swank place, and I hope that more people realize just how much fun it is to be there. The seats seem kind of retro and has a lot of big wide curves to it. I hope that the musty smell can get cleared out somehow because that's a little overwhelming, but I think it's just from being closed up for so long. We will definitely be back! Bummed I didn't take pictures, but I'll definitely update with pictures when we go back!

I had a brew from the great selection and the bartender was super nice and told us about the place! Sounds like it might only be open for shows and weekends but If I lived here I I would come to hang out all the time!

The bartender was not friendly at all and didn't say a single word to us except for the drink price. The service was fine.

They don't service Miller or Budweiser products and are proud of it. The place is a weird twist between a 1950's bar and a hipster kinda spot. The booths are cool and are good for a date night. I probably wouldn't go back but it was an experience.
