Never got past the first sip of the first cocktail which came after 20 min of waiting. No one came to the table with water for at least 10 min before that. Really weird vibe.

I really like the vibe of this place. The decor was right on target with the description. The service was enthusiastic and aiming to keep us happy. Our server made a few errors - we are pretty easy going but she insisted on comping us a drink and when we attempted to leave before the music started ( they were running late) she gave us a dessert to keep us there to see the first set. I twas un-needed but very thoughtful - they were really trying to keep up with the crush - the place was fully packed by 8:15. The drinks were good & we had the pickled veggies to start. They were nice - not too strong that they would overpower a drink. Next we share the moules and frites which were amazingly good. The burger was really tasty too. We had other food but the mussels stood out. Overall I think it was a good deal especially if you stay for the music. I hope they get some quality bands in - it would be nice to see Washington Ave hoping again
