Excellent service and cocktails. Friendly servers and staff. It was nice that the music wasn’t too loud but still present. Would definitely return!

When we entered at 4 there was a few people and stayed pretty quiet for while. Service was non existent as the bartender was too busy on her phone. If she came out to greet a new group and took their order she never looked up to check on us as she walked by or made eye contact from behind the bar. Every time we had to say excuse me or get up and go to the bar to drag her attention away from her phone to order more drinks, food, ask for water or get our check. The bass on the music was awful coming from the speaker as it made the ceiling and walls vibrate and was very distracting. Food and drinks were good as always but the lack of service was a huge turnoff and questionable of whether we’ll be back. It’s too bad as a cute place with fun drinks and food.

Very disappointed! I had a reservation and we still had to wait for a table. And there’s no where to wait which made it uncomfortable for other diners. Our waitress was not super friendly and we waited over 20 minutes for one drink.

This is a cross between a swanky cocktail bar and a great neighborhood bar. Just the right vibe, decent options for spirits (especially bourbon), and friendly staff (particularly Dre). I'd like to recommend this to everyone, but selfishly do not want it to become over popular lol.
