Showed up a little sauced so I forgot to take a picture before we started eating. Pub pretzels with the garlic parmesan butter are flawless. Fish and chips are cooked perfectly, and the bar is affixed with an Irish pub as a sister bar, so it makes sense.

Cocktails are top notch. I like gin, so I had a Last Word Fizz and a few beers, as well as trying the house Old Fashioned with E.H. Taylor whiskey. Also lied and said I was an influencer so they let me try their fall seasonal cocktail, the Bee's Fists, which is a Bee's Knees-type cocktail with Bourbon and Green Thai Chili simple syrup.

Service is also flawless, Linda is the best! Super fun and bubbly, fun to be around, and pays attention, plus is super friendly. She didn't make any of our cocktails, but the bar manager Aaron was awesome too and helped us pick out our drinks.

Live music, the beautiful aesthetic, a huge liquor selection and really cool vintage import furniture for sale solidified this as one of our favorite stops in Sanford. I'll be back next time I'm here, and I'll make sure all my friends are, too!!!

Back in May 2023Walked into a packed local where the bar was a solid wall of people clamoring for their drinks. The side where the seats were had nearly every spot taken came up to a wooden booth and were going to sit, but the other gals we were with decided it was best to try sitting outside. We did not realize that the outside was more for eating than chilling out with a drink or two, so we moved out to a different spot.

Love! staff is great and always treats us fantastic. Drinks are good. They also have a pretty decent selection of beers if craft cocktails aren't your thing. Decor is really cool, and bathrooms are spotless.
