“We went on a Saturday night around 930pm. Not many people in there yet but the crowd that was there was diverse. Different ages and walks of life. Bar tender was friendly enough and took care of business. Poured a stiff drink for a fair price. It is a legit authentic "dive bar" for starters. The real deal. No frills. Not some wanna be staged pretend dive bar with over priced drinks and pretention. It is old, dark and dirty. We wanted to love this place. We loved everything about it except for one thing...And it is a deal breaker for us. Um. The smell. It smells horrible!!! Like an old stale ashtray with a half put out cigarette still going in it and up in your face. It was really really bad. I don't know if someone was actually smoking in there while we were there, but there is definitely still smoking happening inside that place. It burned my eyes and my nostrils. Gave me a headache. Unfortunately, we were one and done (and had a pretty good buzz from our one drink I must say). But sorry, we can't do the cigarette smoke.“

“As a tourist the night shift was good. Went during the day got a huge hold in my card for 1 drink. Ordered a second, stepped outside to smoke someone picked up my drink and snaked right after I went outside and the bartender acted like this was a normal thing. Embarrassing! (Edit) The bartender did make an effort to go out of her way to make sure I felt accommodated after the incident and took what I had to say to heart. Preemptive review, exactly that. Not too shabby. Check it out.“

“I look forward to coming to Grace and Leavitt! This place is sitting on your back porch at home, mixed with gorgeous and clean marble bar top, fun tunes and more than anything, the sweetest most personable bartenders. Neil remembered our drinks, checked in on us and made us feel taken care of. Kalica made us smile, gave us amazing recommendations and made sure we had everything we need. And neither of them forgot to treat my dog Dottie with the same quality of service - with a fresh pup cup and water as soon as she wanted it! All in all, I’ll continue being a regular as often as possible! (Can you be open 24/7?!?!)“

“I really love this place. Mike, the owner, is such a great guy and honestly feels like he is less than an owner of a bar but more of a host of a party. The energy in here is always great. Ayda, zita(sp?), Katie, victor, Andy, grace, Al, Katelyn, and anyone else who works here are all fantastic bartenders. This place is so welcoming and I always have a great time when I’m here. And it’s great if you want to buy some booze to take home too before the legal hours of course! They have snacks, movie nights, and sometimes Mike barbecues outside and it is really such a treat. It’s hard to stay away from this place!!!!“
