"We were just grabbing a few drinks before dinner. Atmosphere is very eclectic. The drinks were made very well. Annie provided excellent and friendly service.

"This. Place. Is. EPIC! Enjoying an Irish coffee with friends after a night of shenanigans and music. The soundtrack here is Pink Floyd, 70’s and 80’s rock. The bar mistress is my spirit animal and I just got the coolest Tshirt. Atmosphere is super chill and welcoming. Drinks are appropriately spiked and I will never forget the dollar bill aesthetic. 10/10."
