Definitely a hip place, they have some beers selections, and a well stocked bar.
Unfortunately, they are extremely limited on their gluten free offerings.
I would have really loved this place, but I feel their menu missed the mark.
The drinks there were pretty good though, and it's location was very convenient.
May pop in for a drink next time we're there, after dinner.

Wildly varied and unique menu with a great patio and an awesome neighborhood bar. Always impressed and trying something new each time is never a risk.
Great cocktails, fun atmosphere, and great venue for a dinner party or to rent out for a celebration. The food is fantastic as well!
