Place is really nice and warm and welcoming only problem is the bartender who is a young male I presume is constantly drinking and taking shots on the job and having side conversations with I presume his friends gossiping about other patrons or things they did in life he takes forever to get to Patrons would love to continue supporting but will have to not come back due to this young man’s poor behavior

The service was fast, staff very friendly. The drinks we had were very well made and we loved the selection! It's definitely a darker hole in the wall vibe, and it's pretty small here so don't come expecting a fancy cocktail experience. But I'll stop in again sometime for another quick drink!
This place really lifted my spirits. If any of my friends asked me to come out for a drink here, I would rise to the occasion. Trey really raises me up with his wonderful smile. Eva is one of the most uplifting people I've ever met. Carlos will boost your intellect with a convo. Elevate your perspective with all the art on the walls. I highly recommend you heft yourself up and head over!

Amazing service and amazing drinks. The key lime martini is to die for and all the others are just as good

Wonderfully laid-back and mellow atmosphere, with great drinks and intriguing conversation. Everyone in there seemed to be a professional, or at least a maturity level above twelfth grade!
I’d strongly recommend if you’re looking for a well-made cocktail and engaging conversation with your group- or open to making friends!

Well What can I say If I can give them a ZERO start I would've I have never been to a recist bar before being a Latino guy and a Korean girl, Last night me and my Korean Friend decided to go to LIFT and the white Girl with short hair white lady decided to ignore us when she made the last call 🤔 sorry she never gave us her name but she had a flower jacket on 4/13/24 so after she finished taking care of her non Latinos or Korean people (white onlys) she told us the bar was closed we told her we been here and you have ignore us so she decided to sell us the last beer and she only gave us 5 minutes to finish the last beer she sold us Of course (Expensive beer ) . She says it is 2 o'clock and I have to take your glasses mind you her (WHITE) Customers still had their drinks and she didn't tell them NADA, BUT SHE KICK US OUT saying that the bar was closed and took our glasses with half beer out. I didn't want trouble but that made me feel like a manorrist in this country saying the bar is close and kicking us out of the bar after we pay Her and TIP HER REALLY GOOD but there WERE still people drinking and she didn't kick them out please if you go and spend your money at this bar don't tip them we tip them and they still kick us out. And there ( white Friends still were able to finish their beer and whatever they were drinking) I give this place a racist star ⭐ if you are not white please go somewhere else, that lady even called me drunk when I was not even drunk I just wanted to have a beer and had a good time I was really mad because I didn't get her name, short hair WHITE girl
