Darts, pool and good drinks. The bar tenders are great too. Very attentive. Will make it a go to spot for me.

$12 for a gin & sprite with lime... Only option for gin was Hendrix and zero carbonation for the sprite, looked and tasted like an ice water with a garnish. The only flavor in the drink at all was the two limes I squeezed into the glass. Restrooms are a joke and confusing to locate. All of the tables seemed to be reserved but empty at 8:30 on a Saturday night. Sadly, I had heard good things about out this place but I can't see myself returning based on first impressions.

Karaoke nights are fun. The staff are great. Security is very thorough and helpful. It's small and a laid back vibe.

Stopped off here for a nightcap after seeing it a week ago. Honestly, a pretty cool speakeasy bar. The crowd was pretty cool, a younger hipster crowd. It was busy which made it more lively. Drinks were flowing. Bartender was amazing and quite friendly. Did check up on us quite often to see if we needed anything. It's downstairs so that dark bar underground vibe was happening. They did have a few games, skee ball and a Photo Booth. Happy hour was offered certain time.

Love this place to have a drink and chat. We usually go when it's not too busy yet, so it's pretty nice to have space to chat, play skeeball or play darts. The photobooth is also really cool! My go-to is an amaretto sour or whatever beer they have on tap. Bartenders are great and super fast!

This review is only for the Photobooth & the restroom experience, not the actual bar experience. The photobooth is $5 for one strip. It is very overexposed & the photos came out almost fully white. & it took forever to develop. Not the best photobooth out there. I would look elsewhere if you want nice film photo strips. For the restroom, their signs are super confusing so definitely need to be updated. The restroom itself is old and not very nice or fully clean.

Overall a fun spot to be. We typically go for their trivia nights, which are both challenging and fun, so good luck winning. Competition is stiff. Trivia nights get busy though, so don't expect the bestest of service, but they do have good happy hour deals.

Checked out this bar and I loved it!! There was a few activists like some games, pool, and darts which was cool. We ordered a margarita and a sex on the beach and both drinks were good and reasonably priced would definitely recommend!!

I came here with a group of friends for Tuesday night trivia. On the weekdays, happy hour lasts until 8pm, and even without that, the drinks were quite affordable. $5 on select draft beers during happy hour. Trivia was good; 7 shorter rounds that lasted about two hours in total. Not super easy and not super hard; just right!

This place is a chill bar. The service is always quick. It has a speakeasy type of vibe.

Great scotch selection but haven't made up their mind on what kind of bar they want to be. The atmosphere is like a dance hall and is very loud and packed. Scotch drinkers aren't looking for a party bar, and those who come to "party" aren't drinking scotch. Not sure why they decided to straddle the two. They could be really good at either one, but not both. I came here looking for quiet tasting of scotch and whiskey and contemplation. They do have the whisky list I was looking for, but not the quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Even on a Wed night this place was full and LOUD. So loud you have to scream at the bartender to order. There is no conversation happening here, and that's a shame bec they have an impressive and well priced whisky menu.

Small, dark, crowded. Didn't even stay for a drink as the people I assumed I was in line behind weren't even sure if they were in a line to get a drink. Security needlessly giving out orders on where to stand, and after moving to where they wanted and not moving from that spot was being told again to move, and that same thing happened two more times all by the same security guy all in a row. If you rudely put someone where you want them don't keep coming back to have them move again, it looks like you have no clue what you are doing. I'd say skip this spot and walk a little more to a better establishment.
