What a gem of a place! You wouldn't expect a well decorated interior from the outside streets, but…read moreupon walking in, you'd be pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is well created with the dim lights, lit bar, and sounds of ice being shaken. My fiancé and I were seated right at the middle of the bar upon opening, and our bartender named Chris (?) was extremely welcoming with a sense of humor. He gave us an ample of amount of time to review the menus. We first got an IPA and the Love me Knot. For food, we ordered some Cajun fries and the party wings with red chimichurri sauce. The wings were fantastic! The fries were very crunchy, and I wish they were a tad bit softer. For our next round of drinks, we got the Old Fashioned and the Bee's Knees. The drinks were right on par. We left after a few hours and found ourselves quite satisfied. It was a fun experience and the monthly change of words above the liquor wall is always a conversation starter. Needless to say, we'll be back!

Lots of space for chilling. Don't be turned away by the entrance, which communicates a small, niche space. 3. If you're expecting a small niche space based on the front entrance, get ready to be surprised by the spaciousness. Trivia: Several breweries claim the spot of first "craft" or "microbrewery." What two breweries, one of which is closed down, start with the letter A claim the title?

The menu may be small, but every item is thoughtfully done and excellent -- quality over quantity. The atmosphere is welcoming, the customer service is outstanding, and the drinks are solid.

We decided to stay at the bar and just have drinks and appetizers. Tacos, dumplings and cauliflower. Everything was sensational. (Cauliflower was the best of the best) Daniel explained the set up, 3 (or 4) areas that are versatile and classy. I enjoyed the dance area behind us but, was not leaving my seat at the bar. Lol Definitely going back. Can't wait to see what the Dealer makes next time.

It's okay if you're looking for a quick bite or drink but nothing more…read more Think of it as a lay over to where you want to go, a pit stop to your destination. Why? Well it's near a university, so it's supposed to be fairly affordable, but it's not. $7 or $8 per taco? Get real. Yes you read it correctly, that's for each taco. Sure they were good but it's hard to mess up a taco. The mixed drinks were good and dainty, small glasses, small portions but good. I tried one and it was served in a tall slim glass filled with ice from the bottom to the top. Let's talk about the food, they have appetizers and 2 main plates. I had a chicken chorizo sandwich. It was ground chicken and chorizo formed into a patty between two soft Chinese soft pancake buns type buns with onions and fingerling potatoes. "WHAT?" I know I know. I had to try it. I had to try it but removed the potatoes and ate them by themselves. My wife had tacos. Since it's next to a university, most of there customers were between 21 and 27. Other than another person sitting at the bar, they were only three people older than 40 at this place and that's including us. So if you're looking for a place to go out for dinner, this is not it even if you're a university student this is not the place for dinner if you're looking for a pitstop to grab a drink or a taco maybe this place. But if you're looking for Tacos, there's a taco stand right before this place that seems to be very popular.

The tacos on the menu for the special was a carne asada taco, a shrimp taco, and a chicken taco. These tacos are on a rotating basis every week. The carne asada was more like shredded beef. Both that one and the chicken taco were good but nothing special. The shrimp one on the hand!!! Now that is one i'd write home about. it came with four shrimp pieces , and the taco shell was fried and perfectly crunchy. I would come back for that one any day! The service for us was interesting. Service was super nice but we weren't helped for a while. i think our seating placement might have been right in the middle of both the servers' territory so there might have been confusion on who was suppose to help us? We were literally in the very center of the half booths lol. Eventually the male server came by and apologied for the wait and was very very attentive to us for the remainder of the time:) alsooooo the taco at The State Redlands are slightly bigger than these so i beleive the Redlands ones are more filling.
