This is a very delayed review as I visited over the summer. Our party of 4 visited on an early…read moreSaturday evening and was able to be seated right away. The vibe is very much dark and moody. They were setting up for what looked like a guest DJ of sorts? Once the DJ started their music, it was VERY loud which was a little disappointing. We didn't try any of the food. We did try some of the cocktails though and they were all great. Also tried the paper bag beer because we couldn't resist the mystery. The beers were 16oz cans of craft beers. not bad! Overall, really liked the place!

There are couches in corners, tables, and bar seating. Only the bar tender seemed to be serving so service was very slow. I liked the aesthetic and Dj Kamakaze provided tunes or else I'd give a lower rating. Would return for an evening outing, good place to get lost.

Buttttt the place was dirty as in tons of gross unbussed tables and drinks everywhere - it was literally the bartender solo or so I thought but later saw that a big guy playing games also actually worked there but was not "working" shall we say, too bad because the drink I had was good (margarita) and the games made for a fun time.

We also caught a few other bands performs like Seepie and Shortwave too. The volume of the mics were just right, and the crowd was energetic from start to finish. It was a packed house!

Overall vibe seemed coastal and fairly casual, I didn't realize this was a primarily gin bar but that was a lovely surprise. I will say the gin fizz was lacking. The bartender apologized for the amount of fizz which seemed absurd given the name. Otherwise drinks were well done. The flavors of the food may not have always been perfectly balanced but they were bold and creative and I appreciate that more than anything. Will venture out this way again

We sat inside and waited for someone to greet us. They did not have a large amount of options so we stuck to their offerings. We ordered a large tray of nachos with chicken and several appetizers. The nachos were okay but I had better. The appetizers were the better option to go with. Maybe it was a quiet night but I would have preferred some more light and better food options. The place was okay but I don't know if I will come back here on a weeknight.

I was hooked by the name. Quirky. Perfect for me. The decor is very local. It's plain but upper middle class dive feel. The menu was very ambitious, but delivered. Hot-crispy fries and chips seasoned perfectly. Chicken sando on a great focaccia was a banger. Beverage was a Fuzzy baby duck IPA. Quirky and I couldn't pass it up. Highly recommend!!!
