Great spot to have a couple drinks to start your night or hey make it the whole evening! It's cozy without feeling cramped and there are usually some friendly people to talk to. Seating can become a bit of a commodity but that's just an excuse to make friends imo. The espresso martini is tops but I'd also recommend the aviation or honestly just talk to the bartender and I bet they will have something good.

Stopped in for a pit stop when my bus was super delayed- it’s cute in here! Licht is upstairs, it’s cozy, and the happy hour deals are GOOD and active every day (including weekends)

Extremely tiny bar with a cozy feel. The drink prices were reasonable and the bar tenders were helpful and friendly. I will definitely be back!

The place is very welcoming. I come here all the time and sit at the bar. I know all the bartenders by name now and they know mine. They work very hard pouring those drinks but they make it look effortless. It’s got ambient lighting and lots of framed art/photos. If you get hungry they have mixed nuts, potato chips, or a cheese board. You can also go to a nearby restaurant and eat then come back as there’s never a line to get in. Come check it out!

Always on the hunt to support queer establishments, this small second story cafe/bar was such a cute find! The staff was so welcoming and the bar guests felt like they were straight out of Cheers- you can sit at the bar, in their cozy living room set up, against the wall seats, or their table nook, however you feel most comfortable. Drinks were superb, and light bites consist of chips or a cheese board (which was so good!) definitely have to go back next time I’m in town.
