Very rude customer service. It was my first time there. I’ve only been in there for literally three minutes. I went right in to use the bathroom and I received bad customer service from a lady there. She was very rude. Very dismissive for no reason at all. it was my first time there just checking out the bars in the area she walked up to me and asked me what do I want as I was checking out the bar as if I was not invited there I don’t know this woman and I’ve never seen her before in my life so it was weird energy that she gave off to a first time customer there especially since I didn’t have any drinks inside of me yet I don’t know what the issue was, but it was very rude Customer service she has gave that nobody should ever have to experience. I will definitely be telling people about this place of how rude the staff is this was very uncalled for

Christmas is here and brought strong and very affordable drinks. It’s so tastefully decorated for the season.

A favorite neighborhood spot! Always happy to see Gunther or Jordan behind the bar and their happy hour can't be beat. Such a great vibe every time and cannot believe how stellar the Christmas decorations are, like HOW?? Love 'em.

The former tacos libertad and caché speakeasy is back! Now called the boardroom soiree. It still has all the same beautiful French style giant chandeliers, toulouse-lautrec drawings on the walls, dripping candles. The entrance is still the freezer door in the back, it can also be accessed through the back of barrel & board. They have great bartenders that make fantastic drinks with beautiful flourishings, they also offer a good list of mocktails...I really liked "like a virgin". The only thing I didn't like was the DJ in the corner, it's such a uniquely beautiful place and it just seems wrong to have club music... I'm looking forward to checking out the live music on Wednesdays :)

&bar is such a fantastic place for cocktails, and when the kitchen is open to order from Barrel & Board, the charcuterie is so fresh and delicious. Some of the best bartenders in Hillcrest, and the vibe is always so welcoming.

Nick at AWOL is the best! He’s so kind and friendly. He also makes a mean drink! 10/10 recommend
