We were not greated professionally at all! Bartender was more concerned with doing shots with his "babe". There was also a child there that seemed to be the age of 12 years old hanging out behind the bar which did not seem appropriate since there was no kitchen and its after 9pm. Cash only.... but no itemized receipts. Seems shady, could be great bar but shady staff.
