    This bar is extremely cute in Bushwick. The enclosed outside patio was my favorite space. The bar area has an amazing kitchen, Grilled Cheese Alley. Perfect bite to eat. However, the bartenders at the bar are extremely rude. He yelled at me to hand me my drink bc “there’s no table service”... they also keep reciting that the bar and kitchen are separate. Here’s how it works. If you want food, you need to check off the food choices and give it to the kitchen, make sure to write your table number, which is at the kitchen, take the number back to your table bc that’s your table number. Kitchen bill and bar bill are separate. Make sure to wait for your drinks at the bar while they are being made, or the bartender may yell. 😡🗣🗣🗣

    Sweet bar and music venue! The basement space is big enough for a solid show and the bartenders upstairs will take good care of you.

    Great bar! Came to see a friend DJ in the basement and it was a great time. Love that they are supporting local talent and will definitely be back 🔥

    Unexpectedly a super cool spot for dancing. I expected this to just be a bar but then we went downstairs and there was a really cool space with awesome DJs playing. I loved the vibes here and there was the perfect amount of people. They also have a little window where you can order tacos late night inside! I will definitely be coming back here to see what other DJs they have.

    nice atmosphere. With a bar section, small dance floor, back section that is more tables, and a venue underground. Also had a pop up food place to order from.

    Cool old school bar upstairs and a rocking cave basement music venue.

    Great food, cute spot, bartenders were rude, extremely slow and messed up the orders a few times, seemed like they were high or drunk.

    Drinks are good but the bartender seemed as though me asking for a drink was a chore for him

    Fun little junction in Bushwick. By far the best place to meet up w friends and chill. Drinks are cheap as they should be, bartenders are fun and funny, the backyard is great but the basement venue is a hidden gem for live music by local artist

    Really cool atmosphere. The outside is not super attractive, but once you step inside you will hear good music and drink good beers. What’s more: there’s often a band or comedians performing in the basement for a $10-15 cover. I don’t necessarily recommend elaborated cocktails.

    I like this bar but I would like to grab owner’s attention to the way your female bartender appearance. If you did a great job with interior design why don’t do the same with the face of your bar? Thank you

    Very cool bar, with unique drinks. The outdoor space is nice, but the basement is the best part. Great comedy weekly.

    The drinks are good, the place is nice and well decorated buttt… we are 2021 (almost 2022) and they just serve cocktails in plastic glasses. Not a place that I’m looking to support.

    Mad dope! Appreciate the bouncer. Good dude keeps the unruly in check at least in line where social distancing is difficult. Love the indoor outdoor part! Always less crowded. Drinks are strong and I don't need fancy. Thanks for allowing me to order my First 2nd and 3rd round cause nobody got time for the line that snakes around!

    Good music! Good cocktails! Definitely closes at 2am and not 12:00am. Should definitely be updated.

    I came here as a tourist, the bartender played "International Players Anthem", and it ended my night on a high note.

  • 4/5 GUALA 11 months ago on Google
    Neat, but quite small. Drink prices solid. Needs better bathrooms

  • 5/5 Ashley N. 2 years ago on Google
    Fast service, dance floor, and food at night. Smokescreen is the best drink

  • 4/5 Travis F. 1 year ago on Google
    The two diff floors of music was a cool vibe, just the leaking ceiling was a lil interesting seeing that it was rite below the upstairs bathrooms.

    Go see Mark on Monday’s and Wednesday’s. You will have a good time. You may even walk into him live mixing effects atop movies or whatever else he may be hiding up his sleeves (or lack thereof).

  • 4/5 Olivia N. 1 year ago on Google
    Adorable! I’ve driven passed this place 1000 times without realizing how actually great it is! Will be going back.

  • 5/5 Michael K. 1 year ago on Google
    I went in here on the intuition that this place seemed more intresting than where we were headed and oh boy was I right. Cool atmosphere and being a hifi enthusiast my eyes were immediately drawn to a beautiful vintage kenwood reciver (not just for show as it played the music all night). I was visibly excited and the bartender saw and we chatted about hifi for a while. Let's not forget the drinks though. Some of the best cocktails I have ever had that I wouldn't be surprised to pay twice as much for in Manhattan. Hell I've had glasses of beer that were more expensive than these cocktails. Never before have I had such a emotional/nostalgic reaction to a drink. It sounds silly but te smell and taste transported me into some great memories. In general Mark our bartender was extremely friendly and helpful making sure we enjoyed our drinks and offering recommendations, certainly much more than you'd think for the price. I couldn't recommend this place more!

    What a dope spot. It was a whole vibe from the minute we walked in. Bartender was dope, his musical taste was unique and just perfect. Felt like I was in another dimension, kinda like Burning Man.

  • 5/5 Elliot G. 1 year ago on Google
    Crazy dope space with live performances downstairs, food in house that’s open late, and some of the best ppl u’ll ever meet 💁‍♂️
