👍👍 This place is so awesome. Tons of variety, friendly staff, and affordable prices. The rooftop deck was amazing and I love the little hatch door. You can bring your own food, as they don’t serve food, so I really enjoyed bringing my Bucharest Grill here. Solid spot, I will totally be back.

👍 Great atmosphere, great drinks and great food! Although there was was only one Bartender the night I went, she was able to handle a very large group of people in the club! I would definitely recommend they have at least two or three bartenders in the future! Everyone ordering food was very satisfied...
