Great bar with fun bites and excellent vibe!

Grab a menu and get out of the way until you know what you want. Then get to the bar, tell 'em, pay and take a buzzer and get out of the way. Really. When the buzzer goes off, go fetch your food. Food was delicious, but just over $40 for two bao buns and 4 chicken dumplings and 2 non-alcoholic drinks. The bathrooms were abysmal. The living areas, filled with antique bric-a-brac and all the charm of an early '90's hipster club with the lights on. While we were there, a party of 9 arrived, sat down, surveyed the situation and quickly departed. I loved the bao buns, but we won't be returning any time soon.

The food was delicious but too pricey. I got the slushy, this size was $15 (see picture)! The 2 bao buns also overpriced. I almost never write bad reviews but our group paid $150 for a meal that should have been $75. This place has the vibe of an after concert hang but without those prices nor a waitress.

It would’ve been a lovely cap to our evening. Went here for drinks - a beer for my husband and an espresso martini for me. The bartender said my drink was free as it was International Women’s Day. When my husband asked for the tab, the charge was $27! He asked to see the receipt and was shown a charge for tater tots and a burger. Never mind that we showed up past 10pm, when the kitchen was already closed. At this point he’d already paid but told the bartender that wasn’t what we ordered and she said we were being charged much cheaper than what we actually ordered. She then had a bunch of youth accost my husband out of the bar (I was outside waiting for him to settle our bill) - they kept telling us to leave, but we just wanted to make it clear that we were being ripped off and charged for things that we did not order. The young men who were telling us to leave didn’t even know the reason for what they were being asked to do. They just blindly went and did what they were told, without asking why. I asked for the manager and was told that he wasn’t around. Eventually, a guy named Nick claimed he was in charge. I asked him how much were the drinks - he didn’t even know. I had to ask him to go and get the menu to check.Anyway, come here for lousy drinks and basically get ripped off by the bartender, supported by clueless youth.

Cute unexpected bar in the heart of Hudson. Eclectic, with friendly staff and great drinks. We didn’t order food, but just stopped by for a cocktail.

A cool open space bar scene. Would come back if I were to be drinking with friends, but not for the food itself. We ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and the fried rice. Bar food quality. The service was very slow. We waited 40+ minutes for our two items.

Very odd experience. The blonde female bartender enjoyed ridiculing me for asking an allergen question about the menu. Apparently this bar is going outta there way to be the edgy place in town - while I'm just trying to avoid an allergy attack lol. If the fried rice really is GF, then mark it as such (soy sauce / tamari often has wheat) and don't make your patrons feel like crap for asking what should be a routine question. Won't be back - food was subpar at best and the decor was way too trying. Like traveled to cool bars in Brooklyn 20 years ago for inspiration and never went back bad.

Paid 10 dollars to get in here last night, worst DJ ever I was basically falling asleep.

Such a gem in the heart of Hudson that actually stays open for Millennial/ people who work all day-hours and the food is amazing too which was a delightful surprise when we first came in. We try to pop in once a week when we can and Tara is our favorite bartender and always brightens our day! Loving how cozy it is inside with the wood burning stove now that it's cold and also love how much space there is and missing sitting outside in the summer. Can't wait to come back on a Friday for the live music which also blew my mind tonight. Thanks for being our local watering hole!

Things are not as spicy, but they have a great taste. The lemongrass dumplings were awesome and the chicken sandwich, get the crunchy stuff… but it’s not as spicy as expected.

The decor is super cool. They have a lamp made entirely out of spoons. They are more like an eatery/bar. They have couches sprawled out through the front which made my son super happy! They give you permission to eat on the couch without the worry. Their portion sizes are small for the price but the fried rice was cooked with dark soy sauce which adds a depth of flavor
