“ Jess and Juan were amazing! They are very attentive to all of their customers. Jess is hilarious and super hot! Juan's playlist is good vibes, so come on by Fridays and Saturdays if you wanna have a good time! ”
“ Good vibes from customers and staff!!! Really clean place with great food options if u come on time 12am at bar Mexican restaurant next door recommended, open til 2am and they have 2 pool tables ”
“ Last night was such an amazing experience. There was a great crew behind the bar. No wait time even though the bar was busy. I will definitely be back to visit!! ”
“ Came here for a spot to play a board game and it was absolutely amazing. Such chill vibe. Patrons AND bartender were adding. Enjoyed my time here. Also by far one of the best/freshest Shirley temples I've ever had. They used their cherry juice to make it, as opposed to bottled grenadine. Such a chill spot, especially for a random Sunday (close at 2am). Will definitely be back. ”
“ The service and the drinks here are super. My old fashioned was a true old fashion' I'm tired of these fake old fashion cocktails with crushed ice (lol). Make sure you hit up Joe for the best experience. If you fancy, there is also a pool table that is pretty busy. I haven't had the food here but their hangry special for 15$ can't be beat ! ”
“ A block off the main strip but I really liked it here with a fun bar menu. The gentleman helping me was very nice... -- I initially wanted the espresso martini on the menu with tequila. However, it seemed that it was already premade. A lot of places that I've been to just leave it at that but the bartender took it upon himself to make it with a little twist. So that was pretty cool. It started to get crowded after a while but he was attentive and kept checking up. The drinks were really delicious. Usually, I try a special cocktail and then resort to tequila sodas after. But I had a few of these bad boys, perfectly crafted. I didn't try any of the food but they had a selection of salads, corn dogs, etc. I'm not in the city too often but I'd definitely come back here again if in the area. ”
“ Looking for a cool spot in lil Italy. This bar is dope. Many of the surrounding bars are cash only and if not cash only, it's a 20 minimum if you want to use your credit card. So this spot is winning based on the fact that they don't hit you with all that. The smah burger and garlic fries are a big deal. The bartender Zack, is not only cool and on point, but his music selections had me stuck (80's /90s Hip-Hop). Differently the best bar in lil Italy to me, for those reason.. ”
“ Fun bar for cocktails and pool. It was pretty busy when we arrived which was a good vibe. They also have food that we tried. Highly recommended the popper and fried chicken sandwich. Also outdoor seating which is nice for the nice warm day which happened to be the case. Service was kind of slow as there was only two bar staff working, taking orders and making drinks. If ordering food, a pager is given to you. When food is ready, you have to come back ti the bar to pick up. ”
