My husband I had a fantastic brunch. I ordered the happy wifey spicy lifey for the cocktail and it did not disappoint. We had their Thai Spicy Chicken Wings and Short Rib Hash for the brunch and they were better than we expected. The atmosphere was relaxing and chill and we’re already planning to come back again next weekend. The staff were all nice! Thank you!

Joined the Sunday session to play some irish music with a fantastic line up of welcoming musicians and staff. With a wide variety of thirst quenching beverages and also a delicious menu of food. Thanks to all there. We will be back

The owner here was awful. He seemed so disgruntled the whole time and was complaining about the sweetest older woman there. I definitely won’t be going back.

Great spot in East Village, lucky to live down the block. Date night, trivia, football, and you will enjoy. Food is great, bar/wait staff is even better.

I have been here two times already and really like the brunch and the margaritas. My wife did as well, and my friend. Not to mention, the food is scrumptious.

Fantastic food and great drinks. Service on point, shame the location is a bit noisy.
Not worth a visit and definitely not a cocktail bar. Cocktails were overly sweet to the point you couldn't consume them (which we didn't after and single sip). Staff was great and attentive, but even while 1/4 full you couldn't hear yourself think. Plus add the fact that there was toilet water overflowing from the bathroom, this visit was a huge disappointment. Would call this more a college bar than anything and other comments were definitely not accurate.

Went to this spot for a work happy hour. The reservation process was extremely easy and the owner was so accommodating since most people were coming from work, we were going to not arrive all together at the same time and they were willing to adjust. The food and drinks were good! Happy hour pricing was honestly great! there were 6 of us total and got multiple drinks and the bill was quite reasonable. The place itself was small but the decor and ambiance were nice. They also had trivia night during the time we were there which was fun! Our group ended up winning first place and got a $75 gift card for our next visit.

Cockroaches roaming the patio. Drinks took forever. They forgot my water. Wings were too hot (they were described as medium on the menu). Trivia was fun, but everything else was subpar.
Good casual brunch spot
