We happened to walk by Threve by chance of where we parked and when I walked in, it absolutely took my breath away with how much I connected with their style. It was absolutely GORGEOUS. The brick walls, the modern rustic feel. AHH. And the owners? THE NICEST PEOPLE. The most down to earth, genuinely kind hearted people. It was so refreshing to hear about the items in the store and see how much they loved curating their corner. Yes, some of the pieces are pricey, but that's what you pay for GOOD solid items. It was so worth it. You can buy so many gifts for people in here, stocking stuffers, birthday- anything! We walked away with a beautiful coffee table and dining room table from Hungarian barn wood. Like what!? We spent a lot but we know we'll keep these pieces forever. I can't recommend this enough.

The bartender at Olio was extremely friendly & attentive- also willing to give recommendations. The menu is super expansive & there's something for everyone. There's also plenty of NA options as well as beer, wine, and full liquor options. The prices here are SO refreshing. A $2 PBR?! I'm used to some other places charging you $5 for a beer that's meant to be cheap. The prices here are so fair & it's such a chill vibe to just relax and hang out with friends. Plenty of bar seating & even nearby picnic tables that are covered. There's a few table games to play and enjoy with others. Really love Olio & it's definitely a great spot on your visit to the cargo district.

As stated by multiple others here in the reviews, I was approached immediately after crossing the threshold of the front door. The woman told me I had to put my purse in a locker by the front door. I told her I was not comfortable doing that and that if it was going to be a problem I'd leave. She looked at the other woman behind the counter who shook her head at me. I asked if they would rather me leave than have my business and they looked at each other and re-emphasized that I would have to put my purse in a locker. I told them I guess they aren't interested in getting my business and left. This was a Saturday, mid day and their parking lot was empty!! Also, for reference, I was not bringing in a large bag or purse. To the contrary...I have a tiny, crossbody bag that barely contains my wallet. I have never been treated so disgustingly in my life. These women are clearly not interested in the business of many as you will see here in the reviews they habitually make potential customers feel unwelcome and like criminals for merely stepping into the establishment! Don't give them your business!!!
