I used to love coming to this bar for its accommodating, relaxed, and fun atmosphere. Today, I brought my wife for her first visit, excited to share the nostalgic experience. Unfortunately, we were met with a rude bartender who acted like we were an inconvenience. It was a huge disappointment and really tainted what used to be a great spot. I hope management addresses this issue so others don't have the same negative experience.

The owner, Andrew, personally reached out to inquire about our visit and took steps to make things right, apologizing for our experience that day with his staff. I so appreciate Andrew's effort to correct the situation and I'm confident it will reflect in future visits. Thank you for that! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
