I wanted to come support them for their 10-year anniversary but they wouldn't let me in I wanted to order some food and drink and just listen to the music but then they said there was a cover charge it didn't say that on the website there's hardly anywhere to sit in here if you're just trying to get drinks and eat and then people have their children running around I thought it was supposed to be a bar the girl at the front told me to go to the Speakeasy side if I didn't want to pay the cover charge I went over there they said it didn't open until 8:00 p.m. they kept telling me I could go to the roof but it's cloudy and about to rain and cold not being able to see anyone else or listen to the music they should put the prices of things on the website so you can know whether you want to come pay a cover charge for a band you don't know or if you don't I tried to call and nobody answered the phone I went all the way down here and had to pay for parking just to turn around and leave
Music was okay. The drinks were great. Service was good too.

Ate here two days ago and got severe food poisoning. I tried to call and discuss with management but no one answered the phone.

Terrible, unskilled, lame
We ordered 3 Yeager bombs and the shots were served in full size plastic cups. Not only was this a terrible look as a bartender is should have been embarrassing. I’ve had a lot of shots in my day and there was absolutely zero chance the Yeager at the bottom of these cups would even filled an actual shot glass.

This is a three story party bar, with the top floor a nice rooftop bar with a small gas FirePit ! The vibe is young 20-40 from what we experienced and had a Latin vibe on the top floor as they were gearing up for a live DJ. The music and vibe was not for the 50+ set! Service and drinks were good. Younger people would likely give this a 5 !

My friends and I went for a rooftop social event but the event was cancelled due to cloudy weather. Our waitress was on the newer side and really seemed to struggle. The food took quite a while to come out and our order was wrong when it did eventually come. We tried to go back to this restaurant for a different evening event and were turned away early as they were trying to close things down. We gave this place two tries and both times were left disappointed!

Security is disgusting. Abuses/assaults the patrons and they rehire them after lawsuits. Avoid at all costs. Tourists beware. Shut this place down.

Always a great place to visit, variety of types of entertainment, all people are welcomed with open arms, no drama brewing. The City Boy Burger’s smashed burgers are top notch. Live entertainment is muah!

I like the layout of the place and there’s plenty of seating. The security guards also walked around all night which was cool- there were always 1 or 2 within eyesight. The drinks were so expensive.

This spot has a lot going for it, especially if you enjoy a mix of events and a cozy bar atmosphere. The event space is fun, with a small stage and a lively yet intimate vibe. The food downstairs was decent—nothing mind-blowing, but good enough if you’re looking for a bite.
The real highlight, though, is the upstairs bar. While it might not be the hidden speakeasy it once was, it still has that tucked-away charm. The classy woodwork and relaxed atmosphere make it feel like an escape from the usual downtown buzz. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in with a drink and just enjoy the vibe.
As for the whiskey selection, it’s solid but not particularly noteworthy. The staff was friendly, which always adds to the experience. My old-fashioned was decent—not exceptional, but enjoyable. Overall, if you’re looking for a laid-back, classy spot for a drink downtown, this is definitely one of the better choices.

Kicked me out for drinking water peacefully at the bar, no incitements, no articulation of legal reason for kicking me out. When attempted to sober up via water and food after an hour had a swarm of 4 separate personnel telling me to leave. Was celebrating and ETS of a fellow soldier of the Alaskan National guard at the time, missed most of that due to the aggressive and accusing nature of Williwaw Security. A gods damned dissapointment of security personnel.
Disgusting place.
