Stopped in on an early Saturday evening and sat at the bar. We were promptly greeted, offered drinks right away, got just the right amount of attention from the staff. We made one off-menu request, but the bar staff and kitchen handled it better than we could have expected. We don't get down there very often, but we have always had a good experience.
This place has an amazing selection of whiskies and bourbons. If you're lucky Maddy will be there, she's the cool bartender.
Prices are crazy reasonable for the selection they have there.

Have really been enjoying the biweekly silent disco at The Root! 3 channels to choose from for different vibes. Service can be slow at the bar when they’re busy, but drinks are reasonably priced and there’s always a good mixed crowd. The only bummer is how early they close!
The parking lot can fill up quickly on busy nights.
