“ All-around excellent. Fantastic drinks, fantastic company (new and old), fantastic service, great interior design, super comfy. Also has well-hidden secrets that add character to the place. Any comments related to "needing to expand the drink menu" are innacurate -- this is a full service bar that can make any drink requested! Also, they have the bestest nicest stools & chairs in which I have ever had the pleasure to sit. ”

“ I love this place. They can make any drink you want even though all of their handcrafted cocktails are DELICIOUS! Tom, Emily, and Joey are FABULOUS!!! Tom makes the best spicy margarita. Emily makes the best espresso martini. Joey is the best dish polisher in the whole world! Come check this place out. If they’re busy, be patient! They ROCK!!! ”
“ We had our engagement photos taken here and the staff took excellent care of us off hours to make it happen. We love this spot, the drinks are delicious and the service is wonderful. The ambiance is everything we wanted for our engagement photos. Only downside is the food, and only because they don’t really have fresh food from a kitchen, however still giving all 5’s because they make up for it in every other way. There are plenty of neighboring restaurants. Thank you again for taking great care of us Joe and Team! ”
