I’d been looking forward to trying this bar but was extremely disappointed in the service. The young barmaid was extremely rude. The drinks were overpriced. The tip was not worth the service received. Will not be returning.

This seemed like it was going to be a chill bar near the beach. I needed a place to set up my laptop for just an hour or so. Came here close to when the opened. It was a very chill vibe inside and lots of fresh air. The bartender was nice but I think maybe she thought it was weird to be on a laptop. The longer I was there the crazier it got and it ended up not being the vibe I expected and felt like I probably shouldn't be on my laptop. So I left after one drink. It was a really good margarita though. I would drink here but maybe not the bar to do some work at haha. Which is a pretty new concept anyway unless you wfh.

An Honest Review: This place can get really busy, especially when they host live music. Be patient when ordering a drink, as there may be only two bar tenders working. The bar area is crowded so youll be rubbing elbows to place an order. Cash is King! Flash the cash and youll likely get served first. The vibe was chill, limited seating. Demographic; majority working professionals ages mid-30s to mid-50s.3.5 stars for minor inconveniences but otherwise a good time.

Decent. Cramped as hell. Idk if I’ll be back. The upstairs is weird old wannabe frat guys looking to bang gold diggers. Strange place

When we visited this bar on an early Thu evening, we were ignored by the bar lady! Despite waiting to be served, she just talked to other people in the bar! We were made to feel VERY UNWELCOME in this small cocktail bar.
Upstairs in a 'members only ' bar/restaurant. So after trying to attract the staff attention, we went elsewhere.
Overall, if you are not a local, AVOID.

Very nice and original place to stay for a drink and snack. We ordered mezcal margarita and sauvignon blanc with fried calamari. Happy to recommend this place :Good value for price paid. There was live music on Friday evening
