Great music!! Kyle Rainer

Food is overpriced for what it is. The nachos were soggy and painful to eat. Drinks were OK. Bartender was trying to serve everyone in the restaurant (probably 25 people in there) and didn't have a second to breathe and was hard to watch her struggle. Not coming back.

Had a social Gathering here with some friends. I think they're severely understaffed and was a little surprised that you couldn't just get a glass of water you had to buy a bottle. The food wasn't bad but because of the staffing level the service suffered and mistakes were compounded from the kitchen. It would probably be better not to go here in a large group but they have bands and karaoke and DJs and people like that. I will go back because it wasn't bad but just be aware of what you're getting when you go.

$6 for a tap beer plus tax. Always empty. Really nice place as far as decor etcetera. Bartenders are friendly enough. Lower your prices and maybe you won’t be empty... and the bartenders can make some money.

Patio is great. However, the bartenders were extremely rude and cold to all customers starting at 1 am on a Friday night. A group of fellow service industry people shouldn’t be treated like garbage when trying to grab a drink at midnight after work. Won’t be back.

Had a large group come in for the first time and really enjoyed the back patio but the bartenders aggressively kicked them out 30 mins before close, and rudely yelled at them about messing with the tables. It had to potential to be our South Tulsa spot but now no one wants to go back.

Super service and excellent tunes!

I go there to listen to Michele WarrenSing. The outdoor patio is fantastic. I love the pot stickers. The dipping sauce is really good. Last night's service was good. Whitney took care of me. The service isn't always up to par, though. But last night was an exception to that! The food's always good and the music is always good at stumbling.

Literally never going back here. Band was wonderful, sound system sucked. Disgrace to the band if you ask me. We ordered two drinks and two entrees, about $60 with tip which isn’t bad as far as prices. My issue is that even after ordering all of this I asked for a glass of water and was brought a bottle of water. The waitress tells me she can’t bring me a glass of water because it requires they use their signature cups. I asked for a glass again and she said her manager wouldn’t let her give me water in a glass with ice without charging and my only choice for water at this place was a plastic bottled water. Why in the world would you do this to someone spending $60 at your restaurant? That tells me literally everything I need to know about the culture of this management. I would absolutely understand not giving us free water if we weren’t getting any food or drinks but since we were already paying customers I consider this disrespectful of our patronage. Water should be free no questions asked. The food was just ok, nothing to write home about and lacked flavor. In addition to that, it took a long time to even be greeted after sitting at the bar; the bar tender was very sweet but seemed very overworked and fearful of management, also tells me everything I need to know about how they treat their staff. We were planning to stay for several hours and spend probably much more $ but left after that. Never spending my money here again.

Beware—they apparently can no longer serve a glass of water in a glass made of glass. You can pay $3 for water in a blue cup or buy a bottle of water. No explanation. Third time to visit—I don’t have high expectations because it’s a bar, but each time has been more disappointing than the last. I predict this will be my last visit.
