Food is like from a vending machine. Microwaved Flatbread. Not good at all. Staff is nice and helpful. Wine was fine.

Good bar with nice drinks. Seating is fairly limited and it's a strange venue with the theater right there. Amazing intermission / pre-theater bar, but a little lacking as a bar outside of those customers.

Cool bar connected to a theater on Halstead. Solid vibes with decent prices. Great cocktails and servers were really nice. Cozy vibes but can get crowded during intermissions if you're not there for a show.

Clean, bright, warm, open, & friendly. The dirty chai latte was sooooo good.I would like to visit during an evening, so I'll definitely be back.

Walked in at 9:10pm on Wednesday looking for a nightcap. Only one other party of 2 at the bar. I was not greeted by the 2 bartenders. When I asked if they were still open, they looked at one another and shrugged. I turned around and walked out.Most uncomfortable interaction I have ever experienced at a business. Website says bar is open till midnight, please update if not true. Also, please have a conversation with the two bartenders on how to communicate with other humans. (Preferably with a smile) I would have totally been okay if they had explained they were super slow and were closing early.

Looking for a cool, quiet, roomy coffee shop during the day? With pretty good espresso coffee? Well, this is it!

Great drinks that aren't too expensive, especially for theatre prices. The bartenders are hilarious, friendly and efficient.

Great coffee. Fantastic cocktails! Amazing wine, beers, spirits collection. Amazing bar food, small bites. What's there not to like! Highly recommend this place

They have such great stuff and it's all very tasty. I love getting the chai-der in the fall.
