The best bar ever. My second home. Not pretentious. I once saw the old Burger King in the corner catch fire and spread onto the roofs of radio and everyone remained chill and dedicated to their drinks and good conversation. The staff is family.

I came to this bar to meet up with some friends. Our meet up time was 9pm but I didn't want to risk being late so I arrived sometime between 8:30 -8:40 Instead of sitting directly at the bar I sat on the stools opposite of the bar. I'm not sure if people thought I was 1. A minor, 2. Just there to take up space or what because I received a bunch of stares and weird vibes. (I just do my best not to assume that a space is discriminating towards POC) . The DJ was very rude and very passive-aggressive. Once one of my friends showed up we moved to the bar. The bartender's service was great. We saw the Valentine's menu and wanted to order from there, but he told us that some of the ingredients might not be available since it was a holiday menu. Thank you to the bartenders for going out of their way to make it happen . The drink was pretty good. But back to the rude DJ, as we stood at the bar ordering drinks he would purposely bump into my friend walking past multiple times. I get it's a smaller cozy space but come on you can tell when someone accidentally bumps into you because of there not being enough space and someone who does it on purpose! He was also giving me weird looks like I wasn't welcomed into the space while I was waiting on my friends. Maybe he should try a different line of work. Minus that I loved the decorations and red color scheme.

Fantastic atmosphere! It's a small space that can get pretty crowded but we love that people that come here are very friendly and welcoming, I met super fun folks who I want to hang with again. Been here 3 times in the past week. Drinks are loaded and strong, or maybe I'm a light weight lol Bartenders are super cool, polite and respectful. Customer service is 7stars! Absolutely recommend this gem of downtown!

It's a busy place on a Friday night. It was a cool experience. Check it out! Small and can be very tight to move when it is busy.

Customer service is terrible specially from a female bartender that was just hired. Not only did she mess up my drink and then gets mad at me but overcharged me and kicked me and my other Hispanic friends out. My friends and I only had 1 drink and hung out for maybe 10 minutes when we were ready to order another round but then she kicks us out because we made her feel uncomfortable? I can't help but feel we were racially profiled since everyone including the bartender was white.

The bartender is a liar, thief, verbally abusive and a scammer. He will keep your debit card if you don’t tip. Do NOT go to this place!
