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)
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!
