Carmen made us excellent drinks and was great company. Enjoyed the DJ “Kent Clark”!
This was a gathering of friends. Great vibe. Speakeasy with a quiet side and DJ.
Drinks were amazing. The food menu is very limited but what was offered was good.
Definitely a snacking menu.
Highly recommend

Hands down my favorite neighborhood spot. The atmosphere is unmatched, the drinks are incredible, and the service is always on point. Huge shout-out to Tyra and Nico—they genuinely make this place feel like home every time we walk in. Nico is fantastic, and Tyra is absolutely elite. She’s observant, knows her drinks, and treats every guest like a VIP. Honestly, she needs to be behind the bar making cocktails ASAP because she’s already a rockstar.
