It’s a good place for a drink. A little pricey but it’s not my first time so I know what I am getting into. I had a cutlass supreme and my friend had a Pilsen pisco. I liked her drink way more than mine. Service was good. We came on a Friday night and it was pretty packed so we had to wait to find a seat since the place is relatively small. Only pic I have was when we had both finished our drinks, but trust they were cute.

Came in for some drinks and food before a concert at Thalia Hall. Unfortunately, there were no servers. However, the bartenders were accommodating and everything came out quick. Highly recommend the shrimp taco!

I really enjoyed the vibe, the space, the music and the service. Everything about my experience there was great except the bathroom. I went with my husband and 3 of his coworkers and we all agreed the all gender bathroom that it’s basically a single sex bathroom converted to an all gender bathroom was weird! I really hope they remove that door in the entrance of the washrooms to make it feel more safe.

I visited your establishment a few weeks ago and tipped $300, which processed without issue. However, when I returned on September 18th, the bar manager confronted me in an aggressive manner, accusing me of committing fraud by disputing those charges with my bank. I was confused and had been drinking, so I struggled to understand what he was talking about. Despite my repeated statements that I had not disputed anything, he continued to press me for answers, implying that I wasn’t being convincing enough. I felt frustrated and disrespected; I shouldn’t have to explain myself. I will be consulting a lawyer regarding this matter, as I believe I was wrongly accused. The manager, whom I believe is named Jose. I still tipped 50$ when I left today and the payment went through.

Update: I reached out to my bank, and they assured me that there was no dispute on their end. It’s completely unacceptable that I was harassed in the establishment over a nonexistent issue. My bank is willing to participate in a three-way call to resolve this miscommunication. It’s outrageous to accuse a regular customer, especially when there have been no problems for the months I’ve been going.

They don't do the free shots at midnight anymore.

Edit to reply: we asked shortly before midnight and the bartender refused to give us the shots.

Stellar vibes. Great service. Great drinks (a little sweet for my taste, but I like things dryer than most).

The cocktails, atmosphere, and expansive seating are a few things that make this bar worth noting. We enjoyed listening to the live DJ on Saturday while sipping our well crafted cocktails. Will be back to try the late night food options!
