- AGAva GoinsJan 3, 20261.0This bar was extremely disappointing. My cousin is getting married, and after the rehearsal dinner our group of 20+ people went to this bar. The bouncer seemed very clearly off; he was flirting with the girls ahead of us and asking them questions about when their IDs expired. When my brother and I made it to the door, I was told I was not allowed inside because I was not 23. I work as a bartender and I have never heard this rule before; our group was inside waiting on us and the bouncer made them come downstairs to prove we were with them. I gave my cousin and her fiancées name, showed them our group text, gave multiple details, and yet I was still not allowed inside until my cousin came to get me. Yall just didn’t want my money? Disappointed.
- JTJoseph TurnerDec 26, 20255.0It's like chilling in your living room.
- DHDavid HannerNov 23, 20255.0We were here on a Wednesday night and they were giving Salsa dancing lessons. The music and atmosphere was fun. The biggest surprise is our visit was the charcuterie we ordered. By far the best we have had. They have made it where you can make your own.
- BBBobby BattistaNov 22, 20255.0This is one of my favorite spots in the city. The band that was playing on Thursday was superb - as a musician, I really appreciate their level of talent and creativity. The drinks and bartenders' service were excellent. One really important aspect to a place like this for me is that I could sit in an area where the setting feels social, the volume is well balanced for conversation without yelling, and it's the right amount of busy. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
- DPDom PorcelliniNov 11, 20255.0this is one of my favorite after dinner bars DT. it feels like a hidden gem, and the special cocktails that are offered are such a treat. you can’t go wrong with any drink here, i personally lean towards the “ramen noodle”and “truly, madly, deeply”, but genuinely any drink is great. shoutout to the hardworking staff that keep this busy bar going, you guys deserve all the credit!
