Food prices are great. Alcoholic beverages were outrageously expensive. Nice layout on the rooftop with casual music.

I went here for brunch. I've been here a bunch of times but usually at night. Usually its nothing to write home about. But this time, Megan was super helpful and checked on us multiple times. Food was good, not great. But she gave witty convo and felt like a friend pating attention to me brunch.

They tip themselves automatically 20% regardless or party size and service! Always make sure your check is correct! ASK TO SEE YOUR BILL!!!

We had a nice time when we got there, but it did take us about twenty minutes to get a drink at the tables upstairs outside. Our server was pleasant untill..., we ordered some curly fries and then the shrimp. The shrimp was very mediocre. Our issue is the bill. I'm a sixteen year bartender. So when I see a bill that has extra drink charges on it that I know were not ours I ask questions, but she insists that they were, i had two cocktails, both of those cocktails were the same, and included the twenty one seeds, grapefruit tequila I also asked for 2 side shots of that same tequila as well. So in total 2 cocktails and 2 shots. My friend ordered the mule and a side shot of tito's. He then also ordered a second drink of just tito's and soda. Our server then proceeded to bring out a shot of vodka for me, Instead of my twenty one seeds tequila for the second cocktail that i ordered. I told her the order was incorrect and she took it back, but she still charged me for the shot of vodka that I never ordered. I had ordered the side shot of twenty one Seeds tequila to go with my cocktail. So she ended up charging us two shots of well vodka and another shot of well tequila on our tickets. We tried to tell her about the overcharge, but she insisted that we were not correct and that the bartenders gave her what she asked for. I'm a bartender like I said, and I have made mistakes.
But she insisted that we got what we asked for. I know exactly what I had and I know exactly what my friend had. On top of it, she went and gave herself a twenty percent tip. I read a review before that. The bartenders or servers were putting twenty percent for themselves before they hit the hundred dollar mark. Our bill came out to 204.00 in Total and that was including her forty dollar tip at 20% that is not okay that we were charged for drinks that we did not have.And that she went ahead and gave herself twenty percent. We didn't want to sit there, and argue over a couple of shots, but I knew that I would come home, and write this review. It is not okay what goes on over there with the check. Everybody needs to absolutely look at their check and make sure that everything is correct. The other review when somebody complained about the check was absolutely correct.That place will do that. I won't be taking my business there any longer.

Enjoyed our visit here. A hip place with house music so loud you have to read body language to communicate so probably not ideal for your company meet up but if you have the time, check it out because it has a rooftop patio that will do it for you.

I like this place. You do have to get on a waiting list to get to the rooftop.

This was my first time going to a rooftop bar. It was a cool experience. It was pretty packed and took awhile to get some drinks. The atmosphere was very chill with a DJ playing a mix of like jazz and r&b jams. It was hot out, but the misters kept it cool and refreshing.

We were not able to enter the venue because the doorman asked us for an American ID. As tourists, it was impossible for us to enter with our foreign IDs, and on top of that, the doorman was very rude about it

Went here with my man for dinner after a long day of activities. As soon as we got there the host/ security asked for our ids i gave him mine and he told me my north carolina id was fake and that i “could’ve paid better money for a real one” i told him im 21 and that my id was very much real but because he wanted to be right so bad he took my id, i told him im going to call the cops because thats crazy to take someone’s id when he didn’t even have a scanner, once i called he told my man he would give it back if i didn’t call the cops which is even crazier. i would never go here. to profile me and just assume my id is fake is crazy and that was the worst experience ive ever had anywhere. do better

Love the music in the atmosphere, but it was just too damn hot on the rooftop today. Fortunately they had misters going. I plan on going back on a cooler day.

You'll have to get on the waiting list to access the rooftop. They text you when it's time to go up, so it's pretty streamlined. Wings were mid...not bad but lacked flavor & seasoning. DJ was bomb and the scene was fire, a whole mood. Good vibes.

Had a really disappointing experience at this bar because of the bartender, Terry. She barely acknowledged customers, avoided eye contact, and acted like serving drinks was a burden. Her attitude wasn’t just disinterested—it was downright hostile. She gave attitude to multiple customers throughout the night, not just me. On top of that, she was pre-selecting tip amounts on the card reader after every drink before handing it over, which came across as presumptive and unprofessional given the lack of service. Hospitality matters, and Terry made it clear she wasn’t interested in offering any. Definitely not the kind of energy you want behind the bar.
