    We tried to sit at one of the couches because my friend had a bad back. We’re told that we were at the top of the list for a couch. There were two empty couches the entire time we were there but we’re told they were reserved. Disappointed. Drinks were also good but not great.

    We enjoyed some wonderful drinks in the standing area while waiting for our spot at the bar. Once seated, service was fast and friendly. The drinks were tasty and the food was delicious! Extremely loud but in a good way! The ambience is unmatched, such a cozy christmassy environment. We loved it and would 100% come back!

    The place is amazing . Very intimate , pretty . A total vibe .The service is slightly lacking . The staff is nice however it took a long time to get the food , and once the steak arrived it was too underdone . It took a long time for someone to come and check on us and once we sent it back it also took awhile to get the order back and right. They ended up taking it off the bill which was nice . The cocktails were great . The atmosphere was great . The music was a touch too loud and the food service slow. possibly an issue with staffing ? Overall despite the minor hiccups , we had a great time . Would come back .

    Compton Ave is a beautiful bar anytime but decorated for Christmas it was so incredible. The drinks are excellent. The Christmas Negroni was delicious. We ordered basically all of the food on the menu and nothing disappointed. The Fish and Chips all in one finger ... so unique. Now on to Frankie's other Christmas pop-up Nordic.

    We were a bit table of 7 and reserved in advance. Loved the interiors and the Christmas decor. Reminded me of my favorite bar in UK. We got the corner big dark red leather couch and it was perfect. Just quite noisy to have a conversation. My cocktail was recommended by the server and it was really good but didn’t love all the cocktails ordered on the table. Will definitely go again.

    This is the perfect place to go to right now to get into the Christmas spirit. The bar is beautifully decorated with amazing jazz Christmas tunes in the background. How can you not get into the spirit of Christmas? We just stayed for cocktails and they were all delicious. Did not have any food. Hence the three star rating it just really wasn’t applicable. But I’m sure I’ll be back again to enjoy and look forward to it.
