Staff is great and there's so much seating. Great drink menu. They made a change with their tenders- there's like a new dough that fries differently- and am not a fan. Really like that they host group events.

6 FORKS!! Went here Saturday night (1/17/26) while in LA meeting up with friends. We were in a booth, having a super fun time. Drinks were good, food was good, and overall the night should’ve been great.
I asked a food runner for six plastic forks so my friends and I could play a game. As she was grabbing them, the bartender (red hair, didn’t catch her name) made her frustration very clear toward the food runner, in front of me and other guests, for simply trying to give me six plastic forks.
It was so awkward.
I worked in the food industry for 10 years, so I don't say this lightly. It’s never okay to treat coworkers like that, especially in front of guests. If there was an issue (and I’m genuinely confused how six plastic forks could be the issue here), it should’ve been handled privately and professionally, not in the middle of the restaurant.
I’m writing this to make the owner aware of what’s happening on the floor so something can be done, because this place is great and this kind of interaction really doesn’t need to be happening.
This review is for the food runner. No one should be treated this way.

THIS PLACE EXTREMELY RACIST — AVOID AT ALL COST
There are white bartenders here that display blatant racism to POC.
My husband is a Hispanic man and the bartender did not approach him for a very long time, and when he did, he was extremely rude, gave no eye contact, and immediately brushed him off after taking his order.
He then continued to converse with other white customers, then closed out my husband's tab and THREW his card across the bar. Insane behavior in this day and age. Avoid this place at all cost if you're POC.

As a Highland Park resident of 35 years, I’m regretfully sharing a disturbing event I witnessed at this establishment.
On 12/7/25 at around 1:00 PM, I visited this bar and encountered what felt like blatant discriminatory service from the bartender. The bartender — a thin, young Caucasian man, about 5’10” with a balding appearance — refused to acknowledge or serve me despite the bar being nearly empty (only 2 other customers drinking from glasses of wine in a conversation with said bartender). I stood by patiently at arms length from their interaction.
Two customers arrived after me,stood beside me and were immediately approached by the bartender. They told him they weren’t ready, and since they were standing right next to me, I politely stated, “I’m ready — I’ve been ready here.” He continued to ignore me&avoid eye contact with me despite standing just a few steps away. Even the customers pointed out to him, “Oh, she’s ready,” he ignored them as well and repeated, while maintaining eye contact only with them, “Are YOU ready to order? — and YOU?” (Looking at the second person in their party).
The customers awkwardly placed their order, then turned to me and joked, “What’d you do — piss him off?” implying this behavior wasn’t surprising to them. I replied, “Sure seems like it,” even though I had never interacted with this bartender before and had no idea why I was being treated this way.
After being ignored yet again, I left.
The deliberate and sustained neglect felt targeted and racially motivated, creating an environment that was deeply unwelcoming. The experience carried a painful, outdated sense of exclusion that I never expected to encounter in my own community.
It is disheartening to see this kind of behavior in a neighborhood as diverse and hipster as Highland Park. No establishment should make customers feel marginalized or unwelcome. I strongly urge both the public and management to take this issue seriously and address what appears to be discriminatory behavior in their service. Please prove me wrong.
Great place for clubs and groups to hang out and grab food and drinks. The staff accomodated my large group outside and the vibes where very welcoming.

Great beers and wine, great food, even better staff. Truly a great spot. I went on my dog's birthday to get him a burger and the staff was so helpful. They made sure his was free from salt and onions, and ours were made the way we want. The staff is fantastic and the drinks are well curated. The fried pickles and jalapenos are great too!
