It's a great hangout where "everyone knows your name," however, some people just should not be in a position of "power" if they are going to let their personal life, jealously and insecurities get in the way of their work... I was a regular here for a long time, as well as my husband was, but management has become increasingly unprofessional and, to be frank, unstable. The manager treats this establishment like her personal living room rather than a professional business. She regularly uses her position to settle personal scores, including banning people and '86ing' loyal, high-spending customers based on personal whims and private grudges rather than actual conduct. It is incredibly disappointing to see a local spot run this way. It creates an uncomfortable, toxic atmosphere where the 'vibe' depends entirely on the manager's personal mood or who she is currently upset with outside of work hours. It is lousy business practice and even worse customer service to regularly bait patrons and then use professional standing to retaliate against them. Even after letting an overcharge of around $100 slip until I noticed it and brought it up... The attitude remained. If you aren't in the 'inner circle,' or if she decides she has a personal grievance with you, expect to be treated with hostility. It's a shame because the bar itself is amazing and staffed with fun, great bartenders, but the current leadership is a liability to the business. Has been so and will likely get worse... There are plenty of other establishments in the area where you can spend your money without the high-school-level drama and unprofessionalism. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere that actually values its patrons.

Without having ever been there before it's hard to judge if it was crowded for a Sunday. There was only one bartender so drinks took a little long as he was hustling to take care of everyone BUT he was so friendly and cocktails were expertly crafted nonetheless. The vibe is cozy, relaxed and elegant. Recommend! Make sure to look up at the dazzling beautiful ceiling!

There's some odd art on the wall that doesn't at all match the vibe but don't let that deter you. Bartenders were super friendly. The cocktail list was more extensive and sophisticated than I expected. And while there wasn't live music at the time, there's clearly a stage for music, which I'm sure is fun. Definitely worth a visit when you need a refreshing beverage.
