we had reservations for 7pm on a friday. when we arrived the place was absolutely dead apart from some bar regulars that managed to take up far more of our waitress’ time than we did LOL. and the food was just OK. would recommend to a tourist looking for kitch. would be embarrassed to recommend to a local friend. go at your own risk :) it’s cute.
Jam-packed dance bar that pairs a good middle ground of “dive-bar” like setup with DJ-filled hits, all of which come together to make it a fun place to hit on a spontaneous night out. They also have an interesting brunch known for putting small duckling into pre-made dinks. $11 a cocktail. 4.25/5 stars as a night bar.
The place has a cool vibe but I wouldn't recommend going there when there are cooler/cheaper options out there. My friend's Bud Light was $9 and the wings were WAY more expensive than they should be. Also, it is a horrible place to watch UFC fights. They blast music like it's a club and it basically becomes a club so it's nearly impossible to see the TV.
