John is a homie. The drinks slap in all lighting and weather conditions. Get here.

Really cool idea, entirely half baked execution. A lot of neat ideas that add up to less than their parts. Pre made drinks with huge decorative ice, cool but a waste. All for the concept, but there was no mention of auto-gratuity especially not at 20%. Ended up tipping 40% because of this. Neat that they had records but more than half had ripped casings and the offerings looked like someone’s forgotten discount garage stack.

Would have loved this place if I was able to get any service. Waited by the bar for over 20 minutes and was completely ignored, even after trying to get one of the two bartenders’ attention. I left after seeing one of the bartenders head to the side area next to the bar and get their phone out. I truly don’t know how to feel about this experience. I haven’t had many experiences where I’ve felt like such a nuisance all while being completely ignored.

Bad service. Only 5 people at the bar. 2 be tenders talking while on their phones did not help me even well after making others their drink (singular) . I walked out after not being served.

Every time I've been, the drinks have always been delicious, the service is always impeccable, and the decor keeps me entertained for my whole visit. We like to play I Spy in this place.

Great drinks and tip is included so you know they pay their people. They change up the menu regularly and it is always a fun time.

Dive bar atmosphere with lots of satanic and irreverent décor. Drinks are good and come with trinkets. Some of the drinks are small though and many are mostly ice. Feels like $15 is overcharging for a drink that's 50% crushed ice so gets watered down quickly.Service wasn't so attentive - for example a bartender forgot to give back a card after closing out but was apologetic for it.

Cool vibe, bad service. My first words when sitting down were “why does everybody in here hate us”. The bartenders seemed so disinterested in us. The bar was empty and it still took them several minutes to stop conversation and greet us. A simple “hey guys be with you in a second” would’ve made us feel more welcome, but we got nothing.They made our drinks and didn’t talk to us until we had to ask to close out. We sat with an empty drink for almost 20 minutes and they never asked. Again, the bar was just us and one other couple.And then they put on an auto 20%. 2 people for 2 well drinks. Which is super unfortunate that we were given below bare minimum service because they can rely on the auto-grat.My partner and I have been service industry for 10 years each, so it’s difficult to be given service that we complain about.At a minimum $15 a cocktail I’d absolutely spend your money anywhere else.

I only can give it a 4, since it was my first visit and I don't have a large sample size, but we did have fun. First off, Max was amazing as the bartender, and even though people were lined up all around me, I felt like I was his only customer. Best compliment I can give. The place was small, but they make the most of it. Loved the vibe. We were late for our reservation, but we had a Saltburn party, so we all had antlers and wings on, so I get why we didn't immediately get a table. Anyway, great neighborhood, great time, and I look forward to visiting again to elevate this to a 5 star. Thanks, Max. As an ex-bartender, that bubbly drink with smoke was cool as hell. Definitely recommend and see you there!

Tight and awkward lay out, gets pretty packed on weekends. Good cocktails. They don’t warn you that they auto charge a 20% tip and they keep your card so you have to wait longer just to close out
