Great experience. Good live band offering open mic singing. Good drinks and helpful, friendly bartenders.

Watched the super-bowl here on the AT&T large screen. This area is a hidden gym. Our bartender was attentive. Drinks were good. Bathrooms were clean. I really loved their anti Valentine's Day decor. There is a food court downstairs.

Not for me I’m afraid. The sirloin was well-cooked but lacked flavour and the potatoes tasted only of the goose fat they were cooked in. Overall the meal managed to be rich and bland at the same time. Enjoyed the IPA!

This is the bar located at Second Floor at the Exchange. Drinks are always on point with an interesting combination and variety of offerings. You can order food at the bar from the affiliated restaurants as well but I'm just going to review drinks and bar service here. I'm always shocked after reading the list of ingredients on some drinks that I actually end up loving it. My first go to when I come is their signature drink 'The Hard Shake' it's consistently good every time. Last time I went Taylor was my bartender and she was fantastic! The staff have always been great with drink suggestions to try as well. I plan to check out Happy hour eventually for half of sake and $8 cocktails!

One of the best happy hours in downtown right in the middle of the popular discovery district! Love people watching on the patio here. We had happy hour cocktails, the duck fried rice, and the rock shrimp fettuccine (pictured here). All of which were delicious!

Came to the bar for a couple drinks! Ordered "El Bronx" and "Rebel Rebel". El bronx is smoky and very delicious if you love mezcal. The Rebel is slightly fruity and smoky spice. Both were amazing drinks!

Love The Hard Shake. Best and friendliest staff. I am here enough the they know me the minute I sit at the bar. Loved all the recommendations last night, food was great and always great drinks. The Lamb Tartar was magnificent.
