Reviews
Great atmosphere but music on the patio made it too loud to have a conversation as everyone is yelling to try to get a word in. I feel bad if anyone lives in the units above the establishment. Great rotating happy hour items keep things interesting. Atmosphere is very laid back and casual classy vibe. I'd gladly be back but I'd look at the happy hour menu first. Happy hour does seem to last all day? No specificities on their menu. Street parking was limited.
Patio is dog and smoke friendly! Cozy for a crisp day where it’s almost spring but just not quiet. Delicious drinks and lots of seating options, definitely not ideal for a big group though unless you want to stand on the patio.
