Top notch staff. I have had Avery, Sam, Mike, and Bella at the bar. All very knowledgeable and make my experience enjoyable every visit. Best cocktail bar in the area. Ask the staff about any bottle on the wall and they will give you a lesson. Ask Avery for her award winning cocktail or any of the staff to create something for you and they will make sure your experience is special.

There are so many parts I would like to love for this place, but the SERVICE was terrible. From not being greeted, to waiting, to having to actually ask for our order an hour later definitely suggests that the service is off the mark for what I had hoped would have been a great stop is disappointing at the least. Or maybe their best. I can’t tell. I watched as my husband waited to make his order without acknowledgement. I waited as I tried to do the same. Our drinks were well executed in a plastic cup (disappointment #1-I am an adult drinking high end liquor with high prices). We both waited while our bartender completed a conversation with other customers without acknowledgement of our presence (an easy courtesy to provide for service). Finally, a simple order for food was never followed through for delivery from the kitchen(really? You didn’t notice or ask?!) I feel that our patronage was taken for granted in a place where I was recommended to go for exceptional service and product. Additionally, there seems to be no precedent for how to handle such an experience because the staff IS inexperienced and unprofessional. Go if you want to spend too much money to be seen somewhere, but not for what you might be getting by being there. Very disappointed!!!

Uhh. If you go there and don't try the deviled eggs, you might as well just never try anything good. They are, without exaggeration, better than your mom's. Chicken wings are super spicy and delicious too. Not bad with a drink or two.

Great Craft cocktails and brew. Good food. Wonderful service.

Food and drink were excellent. Went during happy hour, so we tried all of the apps, and could not have been more pleased. Only complaint I could mention would be stools weren’t very comfortable for sitting.

Try the Naked in Vegas. Well worth the visit!Also, great live music, at least on Dec 29!

Got there little after 5 place just opened and a little chilly inside but soon warmed up.Great interesting atmosphere and paintings. Very low lighting makes for a cozy atmosphere, tough to read the small menue though.The menu was amazing with small plate appetizers.

Awesome cocktails and atmosphere

Always great drinks ?

Been here twice and both times have been great. The first time was just for drinks. The bartender made me one of the best old fashioneds ive ever had. Second visit included food and was absolutely excellent. Nice dishes to pick thru while enjoying some awesome beer. The staff is friendly and on point the whole time you are there. I will be back again and again!
