Patrick is a great leader in his team. he surrounds himself with customer-orientated bartenders. I highly recommend this establishment for not just the drinks but the service.

I have never been so safe at a bar, as a women, 24/7 I feel safe :)

My boyfriend and I had to kill an hour so we popped in here on a Saturday at around 8pm. We were basically the only patrons. We chatted with the bartender and it was great conversation. I had never had a paper plane before so the bartender made me a fantastic one. The music they were playing was great too! Definitely recommend stopping by this little dive!
