I dunno what these reviews about great mixologist are about because I must have gotten the wrong shift. I ordered a dry gin martini. Something I order everywhere in NYC. It came out with that greenish tint and I asked if it was dry because it looked dirty. The server asked me to taste it and yeah it was not dry. There was too much vermouth in it. It also tasted like water.. like zero alcohol. I didnt mention anything about that because i figured a bartender is going to pour liquor in a martini no matter what. The server asked if i wanted it remade and I did and another drink came out exactly the same. I said it still looked dirty and I was asked to try it again and it was just water and vermouth. Not even olive brine. I then contemplated if the bar thinks “dry” means no alcohol. I sent it back for another one and this time the bartender came out himself to bring my drink. It was the same thing AGAIN. It tasted like water and vermouth. I asked if the drink has gin in it and he said he poured 2 oz. and vermouth. A dry martini should barely have ANY vermouth in it. I rinse of the glass and the cocktail should be clear and very strong. It was literally just water. I don’t know if this place is watering down their bottles or what but it 100% did not have any liquor in it. And this was at 8:30pm. Im not too drunk to not know the difference. Ultimately I asked the bartender if he tasted it before serving it and the guy said no, he doesn't even drink. Ok. Red flag. So who is quality checking these drinks made by “talented mixologists”? I just left after that. Very disappointed. 10/10 would not recommend

Great list of local beers on tap. In the same location as curry pizza house. Achari wings are fire!
This is a pizza store. Cannot say it’s a bar.
Could have a better tap selection. Only a few and no stouts or porters.
Great staff. Three nights out in one, beer, curry & pizza ?

Ummm, wow. Super inventive and delicious. Great beer selection is what brought me here, but I love a good curry. Went with wiater recommendation and got the Curry chicken masala pizza. DEEEEELICIOUS!!!The dough itself is pretty pedestrian, but the toppings and flavor had me over eating and then still debating if I want to eat another slice. Worthy, for sure

Service is brilliant. Management: sucks. No effort whatsoever to relate to customers and understand their needs.

This place double charged tips without letting me know, (maybe because large party?) added a tip without showing my on the machine no detailed breakdown (only realized after and also their menu does not include price)and then let me choose tip again lol, and also their machine has the highest percentage of tip in the front, just a thought usually most people might select first one without being aware of the actual numbers, just would like to let others know about this lesson.
Solid pool table and very nice wait staff!
