The "kitchen" was about the size of a utility closet with an employees only sign on it but they left it open most of the time. If you look in you'll see a fridge, prep table, and a single toaster oven. There were 4 people at our table and the waitress said she would start bringing our food out as it was prepared. We all got our orders about 10 minutes between each other so to wait for our whole table to be served meant half of our food getting cold. The tortilla chips they serve are "On the boarder" chips from a bag and the jam on their charcuterie board is smuckers brand. It just didn't look good. They had one barmaid for the entire restaurant so she couldn't be behind the bar for those patrons as she was waiting on every table in the place on a Friday night. The food was not great and our appetizer came out as we finished our main courses before we could tell them not to bother anymore. Heads up, they put tiny lights at the bottom of their drinks that are entirely too easy to choke on. It's a fun little flight of drinks you can get but don't expect to taste the alcohol at all and get an abundance of what I assumed was very sweet flavored syrups. The men's room is located in the middle of the restaurant so you have guys getting up and down and swinging the bathroom door open while you are next to it eating. I believe it's one person at a time so there is occasionally a handful of ppl lined up to use it standing next to you. They recommended we put our food orders in shortly because from the looks of it they could only cook 2 things at a time in their toaster oven. Definitely won't be returning and I sincerely hope the owner or some health department comes by to just really see what's up. It just didn't seem professional. Regular drinks were served in solo cups and everything else got cheap plastic scratched up plates or paper plates.

Went for a paint night.
Clean place with great drink selections.
The only waitress/bartender was wonderful!

Constantly ignored by the barmaid doing shots and vaping her THC pen. Finally got served and the food was bad...barmaid gave me serious attitude when asking if the food was seasoned. Place smelled like cigarettes.

We had Liz as a bartender. Every drink she made was phenomenal!! The drinks were on par with a Chicago bar that you would pay 25 plus a drink. She also knows how to handle people. We will definitely be back!

Amazing drinks. Service is on point. If you’re looking for nice little dive bar this is you’re place. It’s not you’re average dive bar though. Their cocktails are off the charts. Service… unmatchable. I love this place. Decoration and atmosphere is what makes them a step up from the average dive.
