The bar setup is nice too, being right in the center of everything. We sat at the bar but there are some tables around the perimeter of the place, plus additional seating in the rear of the building. The drink menu offered some nice selections. I ordered the Miss Vanjie cocktail and it's so refreshing! It tastes hearbal and fruity, and you'd think you're drinking one of those healthy green juice shots, but that's exactly how it sneaks up on you! Night Bloom is so cute and comfy.

It's approachable, as in the crowd isn't sketchy, the bartender is actually nice and while rough around the edges, you don't have to worry about glass (or a dead rat) being in your ice. Note on the dead rat: a bartender friend told me he found one once in a bar that he worked at on Bourbon. And the good stuff about a dive: cheap cheap cheap drinks. Two beers and a call vodka/soda eleven bucks? I don't jest! But the cats are what's bringing me back.

Once I heard that I knew I had to give it a try. Me and a friend decided to give it a try on a Friday night. Went in and was immediately seated, no wait time at all. the place isn't very big, so I was surprised by this. After reviewing the menu, we placed our orders for the Brewster Burger (10-ounce sirloin beef) with a loaded baked potato. I decided to try their signature drink the Boom a lache, they have a full service bar so you can order whatever you like though. My drink came out first and it was delicious, very similar to port of calls monsoon drink, and the size was huge. After a short wait the food came and we were thoroughly impressed, great burger and the loaded baked potato was just right. Can't wait to go back when I'm in the mood for a quality burger at a great price.

It has chairs and couches pretty comfortable for about 50 people. If you can catch a little small movie here or a band or a play or art exhibit check out that theater we had a good time they have a full bar.

The venue is very laid back, with a neighborhood feel and it caters to everyone. Whether your a "good ole boy" or a "hipster", you will have fun! They have top shelf alcohol that's reasonably priced.

Another great thing about this place is even though they sell alcohol, the theater is separate from the bar, so kids are welcome to come watch a good movie! PET FRIENDLY! Plenty of parking! You NEED to give this place a try!
