    Good cocktails but the place is basically an indoor dog park. Saw a dog sitting on a table, one crawling on the bar, and one not even on a leash just roaming around.

    Ok weird time - I used to come here every week or so. Old menu choice was Bezos Fatale. 133 lb female - Came this week - order birds the word and Lazy Daze. Watched them make it - they never added the well alcohol. I asked what’s the dark rum they use for the Birds the Word and they showed me Campari (which is in the Birds the word drink!- but it ain’t rum). Very suspicious.

    Beautiful decor! Often quiet early in the evening, gets jumping later in the evening, on weekends especially. Usually has a really exemplary selection of beers on tap for we connoisseurs of microbrews! Lots of good top shelf tequila too! Has a little private room for rent for a little bit extra if you have a group; pretty cool! Nice staff as well!

    Terrible service. Since the very beginning, the barman was annoyed by the questions about the different types of beer and unhelpful. When I went for a smoke, he took my drinks away and was rude and aggressive towards the question of why. Apparently, I should know he was going to throw my drinks away. Ended up in another place around the corner that served us just fine without any problems. Not recommended, google score is not true to the type of place this is. Avoid it.

    Bartender said he couldn't make us mixed drinks because he was busy and said he could only serve us beer or simple cocktails (i.e. gin tonic). A few moments later we saw he making mixed drinks for other people.

    This club was a really great spot for some relaxed drinks. They had a great selection of beer and a cool, relaxed vibe with the dark wood, dimmed lights and private booths. We were there before 11 pm so there was no cover. Even though it wasn't too crowded, the booths were still already full by the time we got there.

    Went here for a friend's birthday and was very pleasantly surprised. This is not a club, but they have some of the best cocktails for a bar and at a reasonable price. Good beer list as well and the atmosphere was such that we were able to space out a bit and talk while still feeling like we were out at a bar.

    We were there to celebrate a birthday..Booking a table was super easy! It happened to be blue ballers night where they had the Olympian ping pong player come for a showdown!!

    Stopped in for some quiet drinks on a Sunday night - chilled atmosphere, the barman was brilliant, very informative and made for an enjoyable couple of drinks.

    Lovely place, bartender was charismatic and service was pleasant.

  • 2/5 Adam B. 2 years ago on Google
    Severely understaffed, only 1 bartender on a Saturday night. Took over an hour to even get to ask for a drink at the bar. Drinks were decent which salvages a star

  • 5/5 Peter d. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome bartender/owners. Ambiance and cocktails. Superb beer list. Excellent vintage audiophile stereo playing bar selections which are almost always great. What else you want....

  • 4/5 Marketta M. 5 years ago on Google
    My family really enjoyed our meal here. Love the atmosphere and the establishment does a great job of making kids feel welcome in a place that traditionally could be considered adults only. Our waitress was great and she made helpful recommendations. She was also awesome with our son who tends to have a pretty large personality. The happy hour menu, both drink and food, is robust. The kid's Macaroni & Cheese was delicious and plentiful. The Turkey Burgee and Sliders did not disappoint, and I am still craving those french fries. We love dessert so we had to sample their offerings... the Flourless Chocolate Cake and Bread Pudding are amazing!

  • 5/5 Chris G. 6 years ago on Google
    Cool bar with a cozy feel and great vibe. I absolutely love all of the dark wood and well-designed seating area. They don't serve food here but what's awesome is they let you bring in outside food, which there are plenty of great bites in the surrounding area. Lots of area to comfortably sit and eat. There's even a little alcove in the back that I only just noticed the last time I was there. Rumor has it you can actually reserve that space in the back for a small private party.

    Really amazing experience with everyone. Restrooms a bit open to other people see you !!

  • 5/5 William Y. 3 years ago on Google
    The outdoor booths gives you that nostalgic feeling of being at one of the booths inside, and was a great touch to keep that pre-Covid vibe and feel. And the drinks are just as great and you get it brought to your booth! The only downside is that you have to try your luck if there is a booth open, but would encourage anyone to check it out.
