This bar was one of my favorites on a crawl we were doing. It has so much space. The rooftop is awesome...they had a great dj the night we were there. We were able to share a quesadilla before close and that was also delicious. Really good vibes and it was decorated very well. Would definitely go back.

Place was good. Dead, but we had good company. Drinks were good, but I only got beer. Food was ok. Not super, but will do when hungry. Design was nice

This place has so much potential but it’s not executed properly. No brunch food menu, no mimosas, no bloody Mary’s, boring/sleepy country music (yawn!), dirty/not bussed tables, stained patio cushions, lackluster servers who only do the bare minimum….I love the interior but come on guys….step up! We want you to stay in business but it’s going to require a lot more than what you are currently providing. Otherwise, plan to shut your doors soon. :(

“I stopped by this bar while bar hopping and bought a drink. Later, I checked my bank statement and saw that whoever rang me up gave themselves a $10 tip without my authorization. I didn’t notice at the time, but this is completely unacceptable. Be sure to check your charges if you come here!”
