We just went in for a couple drinks and ended up staying for dinner too. The drinks were on point, bartender was super chill, and the whole place just had a really easygoing vibe. Nothing felt forced or over the top, just a good spot to hang out.

If you’re in the area or staying nearby, it’s a great spot to pop into for a drink (or a few) and some good food.“

While they have a wide bourbon selection, of course, they do have other drinks, and cocktails, too. The cocktails are phenomenal and unique!

The people are great and the vibe is very accepting and welcoming. The bartender was so kind and attentive. It is a quaint but beautifully kept place, and I really enjoyed my afternoon there! The happy hour deals were nice, too!“
