The atmosphere alone is worth a visit. The drinks are definitely crafted with care and have a lot of complexity, but with only two bartenders working, it took quite a while to get ours. Not the place to go if you want quick service or are grabbing a drink before another event. My biggest downside is the price point--most cocktails are around $17. They're good, but at that price I can really only justify having one. Note: They do not have food, just snacks like peanuts. Overall, amazing ambiance and well-made drinks, just expect slower service and a higher bill.

Very impressed by their craftsmanship and experimental flavors. There's not many places in this area that even attempt to do that. I love the speakeasy vibe. Super cool entrance and fun comfortable lounge upstairs. It's a fantastic place to go as an intimate group. But it's kind of small to take a group of more than 4 friends. Cocktails were made surprisingly quick even on a busy night. Everything is just really great about this place. Except for maybe the price lol but at least you're getting what you pay for in a good way

We stopped in on a Monday night. The bartender was super nice and the drinks were super cheap! I was shocked when I went to pay for the round how cheap it was. They have a big screen tv that had Monday night football on as well. The other side of the room has some dartboards.

The food was good, just a standard hot dog so nothing spectacular, but it fit the vibe! The pineapple margarita was wonderful, perfect amount of sweetness. As for service, initially we were served very quickly, and did not have a long wait time. When it came time to order another drink, the line was extremely long and moving slow so I did not get another. Beware that if there are other events in the city like concerts or baseball games, lines might get long. Overall, a nice spot if you're just looking to chill out, maybe play some card games and enjoy the company of others.

There's plenty to see and explore, making it a genuinely fun place to visit. There was also a good amount of seating, and the quiet ambiance made it easy to have a conversation at a normal volume. The staff were attentive and engaged throughout our visit. Brian is an incredible bartender who clearly takes pride in his craft. The cocktails were expertly made, and our conversations with him kept us entertained. I was fortunate enough to try an off-menu watermelon concoction that may very well be the best drink I've had all year. Great experience, and I look forward to coming back again soon.

Filled with FREE cigarette smoke. The crowd? My people. The ambiance? Top tier. The drinks? To die for. The vibes? Immaculate. Any lantern flies? Not in here, but probably 20-30,000 in the surrounding area because they've seemed to completely take over the area. Dean and I were talking and we think we found a 4 step solution to getting rid of the lantern flies. Step 1. Release toads to eat the lantern flies. Step 2. Release Iguanas to eat the toads. Step 3. Release alligators to eat the iguanas. Step 4. Release an influx of Cajun men in the area to handle the gators. Back to the review: From the moment we swung those doors open and got hit with a metric ton of Marlboro Red smoke, I KNEW this night was going to be the night of my life. We came here on Karaoke night and I truthfully don't know what we all did in our last lives to be this fortunate, but whatever it was - it paid dividends on this faithful night. Great entertainment, great drinks, and even more important, great people (especially the guy who was telling me about his 50 year high school reunion that took place earlier that day that was borderline sucking my neck with how close he was talking to me). ONLY way the night could've gotten better is if I could've met this "Joe" and had a Spam Martini with him and chopped it up a bit. I WILL be back, and I'm confident in saying you'll have to pry me out of the fuckin' place the next time I am, because I'm not gonna willingly leave -- this place rules.

Had drinks here recently right before Christmas and I could barely see my drinking companions due to the glitz and sparkle all around me. Two clocks hung on the wall above us- Hollywood time and Showbar time. Both broken. Both the same time. Wait.....where am I again? Transported back to the West Coast? Ah, it must be Pittsburgh because the 70+ year old fella in the blue suspenders and conductor cap just lit up a cig. Showbar time indeed! I tried to find out who decided to open a Hollywood themed bar in the middle of nowhere, but no one seemed to know. But I will say, check this place out! Free snacks of pepperoni and cheese chunks and, around the holidays, a free lottery ticket! Just try your yuengling first to make sure it's not skunked.
