Checked out this cool little bar and had a great time. The place was crowded, but still easy to enjoy the atmosphere. There was only one bartender and one bouncer working that night, so service could be a bit slow at times, but the bartender handled it well.
The drink selection was solid, with a good variety of cocktails, and prices were fairly reasonable. Parking was a bit challenging since it’s mostly street parking. Overall, a fun spot worth checking out.

Horrible establishment. Horrible everything. I never leave reviews but this establishment bothered me. My girl got pick pocketed and i as well Walked in with a party of 4+ and walked up to the bartender, (long hair dude) ordered me and my girl a drink (2 doubles of tequila shots) he charges me and keeps my card then leaves and comes back which then I ask for my card and he throws it to me and aggressively demands me to pay for the drinks which I already had paid (90$ including tip) and my friend pays once more the same price trying to de-escalate the situation because we are being loud towards each other. He gets charged $90 as well, bartender comes back and demands me to pay once more and says I better figure it out so I pull out my bank statements to show him payment went through and he goes to the cash register “trying to figure it out” but takes my credit card once more and he comes back saying “I must have ordered that a long time ago or snuck in” which then I say “ill call the bouncer cause he just let me in so you better give me my drinks or my cash” which he proceeds to say stop yelling at me and say it nicely or you’ll get nothing” . Never got my money back nor did my friend nor even an apologies. Overall experience was horrible, I will not recommend an establishment with poor service and management. would never return. The entire experience was bad and that’s all to the long hair bartender.

Decent place with a large outdoor patio-style seating (benches and tables) area. Portable outdoor heaters and a food truck (outdoors, but within the establishment's fenced in area). Great spot for meeting and socializing with friends or strangers.

Great place to grab drinks and watch a ball game or hang afterwards to hang with a good looking crowd

What a great bar! Band on Saturday is such a treat. Love how the bartenders don't just serve in one section and instead walk wherever someone needs a drink. They are friendly and pretentiousness! The hotdog beer and chip combo is also a major plus!

honestly, what more could you ask for from a dive-turned-chic place

Good luck getting a drink here. Too many complicated drinks and bartenders who are “over it.” Avoid this place on the weekends and maybe altogether.

Myself and at least 7 others had their phones/wallets stolen. It looks like there's a group that goes and target girls. Don't go unless you want to be pickpocketed.

the bartenders here are extremely disrespectful to women - my friends and I will never come here again ❤️ and 2 of my friends got their phones stolen out of their purses in the same night here. And the music is whack and everyone in there looks 19. If you want to go somewhere fun and chic there are manyy better options. also my mediocre tequila soda was $28. I never write reviews but was actually appalled at this place lol

Terrible experience! Took all my friends for a night out and the bouncer refused to let me in. Said I wasn’t 5’6, took off my shoes and even encouraged him to measure me. He refused, hard to believe it wasn’t because I wasn’t American 🙄😒

Rude bartender.... I don't get it, why doesn't the owner see these reviews and replace the staff. There are a lot of great people out there who would love to work with people. The concept is great, just replace the staff that is rude.
