The food was decent for bar food, but unfortunately the service ruined the experience. When we asked for bottled water, we were told to use the self-serve water dispenser, but the spout was covered in MOLD. After speaking with the manager, we were given a single bottle of water. Later, when we asked for more, the waitress behind the bar completely dismissed us and literally shooed us away. Between the unsanitary water dispenser and the rude, unprofessional service, I wouldn’t return.

Reserved the upstairs mezzanine space for my wife’s birthday and it was perfect! Free to rent just had to hit a spending minimum. Very doable to do with 30-40 of us. Got to bring our own DJ. And the private bartender Moses was great. Highly recommend!

Drinks are cheap but the DJ sucks I could literally do homework here on a Saturday at 12:22 AM

The security and the manager here are soo wack. They love thinking they’re in power and always tryna tell you do this or do that. The only reason you ever go here is coz the other bars around are full and they like to act like they’re all that… not! Never again.

Bartender sucked June 3rd late night. The atmosphere was great but they should hire people with a better attitude. I won’t be returning there but the vibe was cool. Service I give 0 stars

Complete tourist trap. The food and drinks were absolutely disgusting, the music was terrible, and the place was unbearably hot with no AC. To make matters worse, the bathrooms were filthy.

What really ruined the experience was the staff — overwhelmingly rude, obnoxious, and completely inappropriate throughout the visit. I’m genuinely shocked this place is still in business.

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. There are far better options nearby.

sticky floors, smells like mildew. terrible furniture and horrible music. bartender offers shots in paper cups which isnt worth the manhattan prices. saw a man fall into the broken seating. allows minors inside

I had my birthday party here in the private top room and it was the best experience ever! The leadership team and bar staff was amazing at organization and hosting, would definitely come back again. Love it here!

bouncer had a terrible attitude at the door. Did not acknowledge my group until we were opening the door then told me it's obvious that he has to check our ID. I didn't even know he worked there! every time I come here the bar is empty and we bring at least 20 people. He should be a little more welcoming and less condescending at a struggling bar...
