The DJ was mediocre, the drinks overpriced. Security was okay. Sad that SC has such anemic nightlife, though.

Sticky dive bar, but the food and vibe was perfect. We got tacos and brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze and everything was delicious and really nicely plated. We were able to sit by the fireplace on a couch, which was cozy & romantic- especially after dark when the red lights came on. The music was all perfect throwbacks and really made it fun. We had such a great time here and would absolutely go back.

Terrible service. Went to grab a drink after a concert and the blonde bartender was gone forever, said she would get right to us and then proceeded to serve every other person in the bar. Had to get a pat down to go in there….for what? Lame place and terrible bartender/service. This is why bars fail.

Saturday 4/15/23 815pm...male Caucasian bartender wearing suspenders...maybe color blind or something...I was literally the only person (POC) sitting at the bar waiting to get served...a Caucasian guy walks in and gets acknowledged and served immediately...I stand up and get close the same spot as this patron, and still no acknowledgement from bartender...it looked like he was ending his shift so maybe he was like f@c!< it

Awful service. Male to female ratio is horrendous. Bartender ignored. Probably because we were a couple. She was telling most patrons to add her on IG. Decided to leave because it seemed unorganized and kitchen was closed.

Interesting place. Stopped in briefly to get a bite to eat upstairs and it was a chill, groovy dimly red lit room with fireplace and eclectic background music. Not alot of ppl around 9 pm on a sat but DJ was getting setup so the vibe probably changes later. Seemed great for a date when not busy. Downstairs red bar was more divey and packed with lively, drunk ppl. From the sounds of it, its usually reversed. Upstairs service was nothing special but they were polite enough. A little trashier crowd was trickling in upstairs as I left, so maybe thats a downside later in the night.

The red upstairs is my favorite bar scene in SC. Feels like a vampire den in the best way

Went after our SCHS all class reunion. Went to socialize, drink and dance. They even played mexican music! Always liked this place and the fact that they have the red room downstairs and outside seating area too! Can facilitate bigger crowds. Hard to get drinks sometimes.

Very delicious food and the kitchen is open until late! It seems like a place for young people but it was still good, Spanish and English

Matt Levey

Not as good as it used to be but hoping the food and beer return to their pre-pandemic excellence.
