Good drinks. Good service. Good food. The chips and guac were phenomenal. Chicken quesadilla was ok. Beef skewers were ok, good flavor but kinda tough. Their sliders were ok.

Went here on a Friday at 4pm ish.
I've been here before and the food is awesome.
The bussers and bartenders are great.
The actual servers consist mostly of these unfriendly ladies that cut straight to the chase. "Hi, you ready to order?" Type of greeting
Our server tried to sit the two of us at a 6 person round table by the host stand.
Immediately I realized that this lady doesn't want to get sat big parties.
She asked us if we were ready to order right when she sat us lol. Not even 10 seconds for us to take our coats off.
After we took a few breaths to scan out the menu...we placed our order.
Mixed drinks are GREAT. Harlot with grapefruit is really good.
Food is great. The food runners are the real stars.
Our waitress finally came around and asked if we needed anything else. We asked for the check and 40 min went by before some other unfriendly lady came by and said " I heard you guys were waiting on your check? "
We gave her our card before she could leave and she dropped it off with a "thanks have a good one " and stormed off.
Really bad service .
During the 40 min of us waiting we had time to walk around the place and look for our original waitress and saw she was eating starbursts from a basket and just chilling. I signaled to her that I wanted the check and she rolled her eyes like ugh and still didn't bring it.
Eventually we pulled one of the bartenders and asked him for the check and he I guess told some other girl about it.
The behavior by the bartender and the new girl that brought us our check made us feel like we were the problem and somehow it was our fault that we were there at bussed table with nothing on it for 40 min.
BLEH.

Great location . Nice ambience . Lots of options to drink and eat ..went for a party here and it happened in top floor . Service was good . Food bites were good . Some of the small bites were average . Some with bruschetta and cheese . Wish there were rest rooms in all floors . Had to go 2 floors down and the restrooms were small .. overall a good experience . 4 stars .. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was the recommended bar for my pickleball league. It was fine. No fancy IPAs. Food seemed like decent bar food. Sports on the TVs. I feel like it can get crowded here on the weekends. Some group areas and seating, like most bars. Let’s what else can I say..the bar had hooks for your jacket.

Kid-friendliness: Didn’t see any kids here.

The girl “manager” has to much power to her head. This place needs better management

paid $12 for Guinness, 70% of beer is just water… The soup and potatoes were delicious, the staff is very nice
