Honestly one of the best bars in OTR. It’s like Cheers and always a vibe when I walk in. THOMAS is honestly the best bartender there in the place, he treats everyone with respect and always positive attitude towards the establishment. Adam that run the bar has done a wonderful job! Best bar in OTR!!!

Had the pleasure of being served by Thomas at The Setback and honestly, he made the night. Super attentive without hovering, knew the cocktail menu like the back of his hand, and had just the right amount of charm to keep things interesting. Not saying he made my drink taste better just by being there… but I’m also not not saying that. If you’re lucky enough to catch his shift, enjoy—it’s a vibe.

Came here because the website said drinks and shots are $5. They are not. Most drink prices on the menu are not updated and they would not discount when I came, which I understand, but update your website!!

Caught a band there recently and had a great time. Seth behind the bar made me feel at home and the prices were unbeatable!
