What a splendid place to find by chance. Cocktail bars are an uneven category that are usually…read moreoverglorified bars or wine bars that want a wider clientele. Not Anjou! A genuine cocktail bar dedicated to offering you a rotating menu of specialty drinks and mocktails, and willing to accommodate your custom requests as needed. Friendly and prompt service, pleasant atmosphere, everything a discerning customer could ask for for a few drinks waiting on a restaurant seat! I'm particularly fond of places that make mocktails a regular part of their service. What is effectively custom soda is a greatly undeserved area.

I sat at the bar and ordered right away, and they were able to bring my lunch in plenty of time for me to eat and get on my way. The server/bartender was friendly and efficient. The place is big and airy and there were many folks having lunch together. I ordered the Santa Fe chicken sandwich and fries. OMG the fries were so good! The chicken was dry and thin, which was disappointing, but the ingredients worked well together and had some heat for sure. I am looking forward to returning to dry more of the menu. I would give 3.5 stars if I could instead of 4 because of the chicken breast.

I called ahead and the lady that took my order was really kind. She said it would be ready in 15 mins and when I arrived it was already ready. I love their options for happy hour. The restaurant is huge with an upstairs area as well as a private patio. I ordered the chuck yeah and it was ok, I would have preferred more seasoning in the batter for the chicken but the chicken was nice and crispy. The Kool aid pickles was a different flavor. I'll definitely come back and try something new.

At the time it…read morewas super busy because they were booked for birthdays and events but we managed to fit a party of 12 around the DJ area near the bar. They made it work for us and were very accommodating. The food menu served was brunch. The menu was simple, but they had a lot to offer. I would best describe southern soul food. Very reasonable in pricing and the drink menu had a great selection as well. My fiancée and I ordered: Drinks: -Pinot noir -Manhattan -Espresso Martini Brunch: -Grilled salmon with side of onions & potatoes - Shrimp and grits For it being super busy, we didn't have to wait long for our food. It was fabulous. My salmon was grilled perfectly. The hot honey went very well with my salmon. The potatoes were delish. My fiancée really enjoyed his shrimp and grits. He mentioned that the shrimp was on point. I tried my friend's French toast . Wow! That was amazing. Nina was our server and she was great! Very polite and attentive. She was working really hard. I want to give her huge props. I highly recommend coming here. The DJ really knows his music and everyone was having a great time. That's all that matters, Right!? Great place!

Keep walking past the bar and you'll see a private room with a pool table, fireplace, and chairs to host some type of smaller party.

Down here we have sexy black sofas, tables, candles, and a stage! Apparently, this is where the creative get together and make sweet art.

There were tons of people here also on a Saturday night. The drinks were only so-so. That Ube Margarita comes from a tap (like they premake it) and is way too sweet for me. If they made each drink individually they could probably make it less sweet but since they don't, it was hard to finish. (I know this is the most popular drink, it's pretty but not for me). We also ordered an Old Fashioned from the menu...also only so-so. Eh, bummer. They do have a small food truck selling snacks like fries etc though. They had a private event going on in the smaller area with another bar, that seems nice.
