Local bar with great people. Drinks are always fantastic. Monday steak night is superb. Most of the staff is super friendly. Owner is always there and he is fantastic and funny. Try it you might never stop going.

Wonderful Sunday brunch experience. Had the avocado toast, brunch special along with frozen adult beverages and coffee. Great friendly service and enjoyable eclectic music.

Place has a good theme, and probably that’s it. Staff has a horrible attitudeFood is terrible, the chips are old and taste really bad, guac is basically just straight avocado, literally no flavor. Then we got empanadas, feta and spinach might be the only acceptable one, the rest were not acceptable unfortunately. We got the salmon and chicken tacos, both no flavor and barley any meat in them.Drinks are averagePlease don’t order the seasoned mushrooms, super badWe tried to tell them about the chips, they were not happy with us and told us to take it easy ?

I had been wanting to try this place for awhile. We came here for brunch. The drinks are decent except for the bloody mary. Do not get the bloody mary it was awful. The food left much to be desired. I got rib tips and they were do dry, I could not eat them. The portions are small for the price. They have a nice outdoor seating area. I wouldn't rush back or recommend this place to friends.

There's nothing that would ever make me go back here. I gave more than 1 star ONLY because no 1 was rude or anything, they just had nothing to offer me. Food was just light bites & it wasn't tasty at all. Drinks weren't good. Music was not good either. Environment was dark & dreary. Staff wasn't rude, just very uninterested it appeared.

Such a neat little bar with crafty cocktails! I enjoyed the strawberry basil margarita and a super tasty Red Over Green(?). It is the most unique drink I’ve had in a while. If you like red bell peppers you will enjoy this very refreshing beverage. Don’t let the pepper fool you. This drink is sweet, yet full of the pepper flavor. Highly recommend. Carlton was a fantastic waiter offering his mad bar tending skills and great conversation.

Ok place to meet up for food drinks. Monday steak night no options on sides you want we had to have mashed potatoes which we don't like and the salad only came with one dressing which was really bad tasting. So we only ate the steak which was ok. No steak sauce salt pepper napkins no waitress waiter for 2 people $63 service should be so much better and get what i want with my steak!

First time back since before the pandemic. Made the trip specifically because it was a little chilly, we had just had diner, and I knew they had hot chocolate and coffee drinks... with alcohol. Maaaannn, I was so disappointed. We were told they didnt have coffee OR hot chocolate!!! *sigh*No coco loco, boom boom, or nuts and berries for my birthday.

Really enjoyed the theme of this place. The food and drinks are prefect for a chill date night or a fun place with friends. There's some parking but most parking is on the street.

My wife and I stopped by yesterday for a couple of drinks while her car was being repaired during happy hour. Before we left I questioned the bartender about our bill since it didn't include the happy hour discount. He showed me the menu and proceeded to explain that thy usually charge a dollar more than what the prices on the menu show. How much sence does that make? I can take a hint. Too bad, I've always liked this place...oh well.
