It looks like it used to be a restaurant space here before!

I'm very sensitive to salt and am known for undersalting my own cooking, so I rarely think food is under-seasoned. But it genuinely felt like no salt was used in the kitchen here. We came for my birthday, and my partner only selected "birthday" on the reservation because the reservation app specifically asked whether we were celebrating an occasion. We were not requesting a birthday dessert or any special treatment. Then, when we arrived, our server asked if we were celebrating anything, and we simply answered, "Yes." A little later, the server brought out a scoop of ice cream that we never ordered, requested, or even hinted that we wanted. To our surprise, we were then charged $12 for it. At no point did anyone mention that the dessert was an item we would be paying for. Had we known it wasn't complimentary, we never would have indicated it was my birthday on the reservation or answered the server's question. We didn't even eat the ice cream because we hadn't wanted dessert in the first place. Rather than make a scene, we paid the charge, but it left a very negative impression. It's frustrating to be billed for something you never ordered, especially when the only reason your birthday was mentioned at all was because the reservation app and the server asked. A birthday shouldn't result in an unexpected charge for an unsolicited dessert.

It's true what they say in other reviews - you'll miss the entrance if you don't know where to look. So in that sense, plus the dim lighting in the bar once you're inside, it does feel a bit like a secret spot. There's a couple small tables for groups to sit around, but most folks just take a seat at the bar. It's dim, slightly dingy, but fun - with lots of references to rabbits along the walls and above the bar. The staff are nice and friendly, and they specialize in imported beers from Belgium, Germany etc. - though we just got a couple ciders. Fairly pricey but good overall. The bathroom is just as much of an experience as the rest of the place. In any case it's a neat, tucked-away spot in a fun part of town. If you're looking for a place to relax and have a unique beer at, this is the spot for you.

Since it was right next to where I was leaving my friends, I decided to see if I could get a seat at the bar without a reservation. I checked in with the host and she said they had room. So no rezzie needed that night when solo. The bar area is very dark and intimate. I only had time for one drink and decided on the one above. It was nicely balanced.
