The vibe is very moody and dark, a true classic jazz type lounge feel with dried flowers on every table and a cute little lamp to really give you the feeling of having your own little world at the table The drinks are phenomenal, they have a great variety and Jillian is not afraid of making something off menu for her regulars (pre tested drinks of course). My favorite so far has been the chocolate cherry martini

I've held off on doing a review. It's still really an issue for me. Conflicted bc as a person,…read moreJesse is awesome. As a stylist, not so much. I was a regular, love the bartenders and the vibe. I needed my hair bleached. My hair is basically a military cut with shave sides. It was already bleached but not lifted enough. Made appt, which he was an hour late for. He put bleach in, left it on for so long I still have literal holed scarring on scalp. Then toner. No cut or wash. The process took almost 6 hours. There was drinking, on my end. His too. Weed on his end. At the end of appt he gave me a printed debit slip to sign. It was 504 dollars. I said to him "you'll understand why I don't tip you right", bc he is owner and seemed absolutely outrageous. He said no problem. Left the tip section empty, signed & left. When I got my bank statement, i was charged 605 dollars. Still pissed, but avoided going there bc I am furious. It's been 8 months, I just had to shave most of my head due to the bleach frying my hair so bad it practically falls out when I brush it. So, thanks Jesse. It sucks bc I can't even go visit bar anymore. Lessonprobably don't drink & smoke while doing hair and lesson for me: don't get your hair done at a bar.

The flatbreads were so tasty and were a hit but the tomato salad was the secret superhero - not sure where they source those small juicy flavor bombs but they were excellent on the palate!

Goodness, ordered a steak medium and it came well done. What a shame to waste a wagyu steak. Had to…read moresend it back. Same for my friend. Obviously the person on the grill wasn't trained or wasn't paying attention. Pacing was also a problem. Waited pretty long to order. Then salads came while we were finishing last bites of the appetizer. Then entrees came while I was literally in the middle of my salad. Talk about rushed. That salad would have been good if the shaved parm had been shaved. However, the pieces of parm were huge - really thick. Can't imagine who would think that was a good bite on a salad. The Broccolini was half cooked. I could barely cut the stem with a steak knife. Obviously. I couldn't eat those stems. They did not have a flight of wine that was all reds (i don't drink white wine). So why 4 stars instead of less? The mushroom toast appetizer was fantastic. I shouid have stopped there and would have been happy. The ceasar dressing and large crouton were good, even if the shaved parm was a bust. Once the steak was served to me medium as I'd ordered it, it was delicious and the fries were crispy and went well with the steak. I enjoyed the glass of wine I ordered. I hope they get their act together - such potential!

Love it. Then had a Whiskey Sour and finally The Grand Desire. Nothing came close to that Winters Calling though. Very unique drink. Also got to sit and listen to some of the most angelic voices I've heard in a long time. It was a nice, chill place where I could escape for a bit. Definite highlight on my trip from Seattle.

Not much room to order a drink and with only two staff and no floor service, less of a lounge and unfortunately more of a bar feel. Great selection off the menue... just have to locate one.

I was looking for champagne, which they had an unfamiliar brand but it was really light, more on the dry side, and crisp - exactly what I was looking for! The bartender was informative and kept busy during my time there. The ambiance is warm and loungey with lots of different seating options. Some facing the hotel lobby for people watching, a couple of intimate booths, group seating around the fireplace, and bar top seats. A group came in for whiskey, and played board games that were available in the seating area. The holiday decorations made it cozy and the perfect spot to read a book while sipping on a good champs!

There was a lot to do aside from the bingo, including darts, beer pong, and free pool.

Bar in the front, set up chairs on what is apparently a dance floor. Performers were on a small stage in the back. Interesting setup where you can get food from the place next door--kind of like a starbucks/barnes & noble setup. This seemed fine until folks started to come in for drinks, at which point it got hard to hear the performers. I hear the place has new owners. TBH, it could use some sprucing up. The plaster is quite literally falling off the ceiling in a couple spots. None of us used the restrooms, so not sure what shape they are in. All in all, I'm glad it's available as an option, and hopefully the new folks will see fit to spruce it up a bit.

Two other had pizza and really liked it. I am deducting one star because when we got our bill, there was a $1.50 charge for "opening the NA beer". What is that? I've never heard of this charge. If it weren't so busy that day, I would have questioned the server to get more info but there was a soccer tournament in town and the place was slammed. I would probably not go back because of this especially since we were not forewarned.

I'm really torn about this place…read more When we first walked in, we were warmly greeted, which made a great first impression. The cigar shop inside the venue was excellent -- the staff member was kind, knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The bartender was also friendly, and the drinks were very good. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended for me. As someone who's fairly new to the cigar world, I expected some smoke, but the air quality was extremely rough. Even the seasoned cigar smokers I was with commented on how hard it was to breathe. We asked if they could turn up the HVAC system, which they did, and it helped somewhat, but it still wasn't enough to make the space comfortable. My biggest issue, however, is the lack of compassion shown toward customers -- especially in how negative reviews are handled. The responses to criticism are surprisingly aggressive and defensive. Instead of acknowledging feedback or trying to improve, reviewers are often insulted, berated, and even told not to return. That kind of response is shocking and unprofessional. Most people are simply offering honest opinions as customers, not attacking the business. Whether it's the owners or whoever manages their social media, this approach needs serious reconsideration. Telling customers not to come back because of constructive criticism is not a sustainable or respectful business model.
