We stopped in this bar after a visit to the museum. Bar is a cozy spot. Bartender was very pleasant and my cocktail was very nice. However, my partner was definitely disappointed with only two beer choices and two wine choices. The bartender didn’t seem to know anything about the white wine. It was not a large pour. Also wine listed as MP and turned out to be as expensive as my cocktail.

We stopped in for cocktails with our oldest son before heading next door to the Granada Theater to see Samara Joy. The atmosphere was lively with great jazz music, and the cocktails were expertly crafted — creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. The staff was attentive, and the vibe was the perfect mix of classy and relaxed. A fantastic pre-show spot that set the tone for a memorable evening!
