This bar may not look like the Ritz, but the staff, food, and customers make it above and beyond.
I ate the beef bourguinon is heaven. I never finished my food, but I scraped the bowl dry. 😋
The only suggestion I have is to serve it with a crusty baguette and butter, and it will take you to France only better!
Thanks from Colorado 🥰

Great place to grab a drink before a show in Fountain Square. $3 Old Style pints from 4-6 are unbeatable. Friendly patrons and bar staff. It's my new go-to.

Went on a Friday evening for just a cpl of drinks. Very friendly and attentive bartender. Really like the option of indoor/outdoor seating. The food was good. The customers were all getting along with each other. Nice that they have parking.

Parking: They have an attached parking lot. If that fills up, there is parking in a huge lot directly across the street.

This is the local bar for the cinema nerds and people who love atmosphere. It can get loud and busy at times. But more often it's quaint and calm and reflective. Writers go here to write. People meet to watch old movies on the tvs at the bar and talk lovingly about film, acting, etc.

Jesse the Bartender is the best. It's more of a liqour bar than beer. They have beer, just not as big a selection as most places. That being said I've had great old fashions and gin&tonics for extremely reasonable prices.

The food is also surprisingly varied for a bar. You can get a Gyro that's pretty solid for like $9 or something.

Highly recommend this place. Be cool. Keep it cool. Be nerdy. Enjoy the interior. It's got a charm that just lingers with you.

The female bartender never acknowledged me and I sat at the bar and waited several minutes but I moved to the other end of the bar and the male bartender was friendly, fast, and made a great drink suggestion. The patrons were friendly and I enjoyed the music and ambience.

This bar is closed because of rats. Sad to say. I was there the night the rat ran across the room. Was a first date.

Loved this place so much. We were visiting family here from Michigan and absolutely loved the vibe. Amazing service and some of the best drinks we have had. The feel was secretive and snazzy, the staff was stylish and warm. Highly recommend!
