Never do I have to ask for more water, another drink or a recommendation for a local spot to eat. Their bartenders are legit on it and really take care to craft the best vibes and drinks. Please do yourself a favor and indulge in their happy hour, offered everyday from open-6p. The mini martinis are magnifique. Cheers, The Happy Hour Huntress

Such a fun time! My…read morehusband and I decided to go for drinks on a random Wednesday and didn't expect to enjoy it as much as we did. The drinks were excellent. I had a guava pablo and absolutely loved it. Since it was a weekday, I planned to stick to one drink, but after trying a sample of a frozen "piña colada" with a spicy touch, I couldn't resist. I am still thinking about that drink! My husband tried their beer, which was super cool that they had it, and the other frozen peach drink that he really liked, but I am still obsessed with mine. We also had soft pretzels and a guava empanada. The empanada was 10/10, reminded me of home (I'm Brazilian), but the pretzels were not great (we still ate everything). The cherry on top was the really friendly bartenders, with whom we had great conversations. We will be back!

It's just heating up typical bar food. Nothing is cooked. And it seems these new owners are following suit. At least we don't have to look at the stupid bottle blonde who thinks anyone with a penis is looking at her. That's the previous owner. Very sketchy and so pathetic. I'm thinking of finding another spot where they at least care.

I had them with a Caesar salad. I'm a pretty big eater but I could only finish half an order ! ( 5 out of 10 wings ). Highly recommend. I will be definitely going back real soon.

It didn't help that she was taking shots with other customers all night while many people were waiting to be served. The other bartender Eddy was great, I quickly learned to stick to his section of the bar. The bathrooms and floors are absolutely disgusting and based off that I would not recommend getting and drink that requires a glass, stick to canned beverages. Besides that, the prices were cheap and the music was ok.

Idk what drink prices were since these bros kept buying me shots and I was notttt complaining! Green tea and fireball for the win! Bathrooms downstairs were actually quite clean but damn those steps to get down are dizzying and the top step is def bigger than the rest so watch yo self. Sadly I do not think the acoustics in this venue are that great. Out of the three bands I could not make out ONE lyric when i was standing by the bar and its not like it's that massive or I was far away. It's something they absolutely need to work on bc otherwise what is the point of seeing a band play if you can't even hear them?

This restaurant came highly recommended but honestly I wasn't that impressed. We didn't have a…read morereservation and were told they could seat our party of 5 as long as we were done in 90 minutes which was fine. The server was attentive and easily accessible. A few of us were interested in the chicken sandwich special served Rueben style on Texas toast. I asked if I could order it but put it on a brioche bun instead I was told NO. All of the other sandwiches came on a brioche bun so I figured it wasn't a big deal but I really got a hard NO from the server. Another special was fish tacos. It was disappointing in taste, quality, and presentation. It was flat breaded fish filets on mini tortillas with some iceberg lettuce and a bit of pico. We asked for a sauce or hot sauce and were handed a bottle of of Tabasco. The other fish sandwiches were mediocre and definitely not homemade. Even the fries were frozen and not crispy. I guess I expected better for the steep prices.

They do not have a phone number, but we made a reservation and they ended up reaching out to us following up on our concern about vegetarian options. They are actually quite accommodating, mentioning that several options can be made vegetarian and describing the dishes in further detail. Our server was amazing, very friendly and inquisitive. She mentioned that she's not local, but just comes up time to time because she's close with the owner. When she learned that we were new to the area, she shared a drink with us on the house! The food was surprisingly good! We ordered the broccoli nuggets and they were fantastic, with plenty of chew and a dipping sauce that really balanced everything out. I did not expect to like them as much as I did. Our drinks came out quickly and were very well-balanced. For entrees, I had the meatball sandwich (a special) that was delicious but also lighter than I expected, in a good way. My wife ordered pasta that was bright and fresh. We didn't have room for dessert, but the owner makes unique and fun ice cream sandwiches that we'll try next time. The flavor changes each week!
