I highly recommend this place. It has a spacious terrace with covered areas for big groups. The staff is friendly and the drinks are well-crafted. It is a definite must-visit spot for friends, co-workers, or bridal parties. The atmosphere is lively with great music, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

The bar is charming, albeit noisy and bustling. There is a large screen for games which adds to the lively atmosphere. The place appeared clean, possibly recently pressure washed, which is a detail I appreciated considering how quickly city bars can become grimy.

The service at this restaurant is excellent, but getting seated and ordering food can be a bit tricky if you're not familiar with the non-wait staff service. However, the bartenders are really helpful and friendly when you ask for help. We had a great experience sitting at the bar for an hour - the atmosphere was super relaxed with just the right amount of noise and music. They have a great selection of drinks and the design is amazing. A must-stop on 6th Ave!

Had an office happy hour there. Everyone loved the ambiance, food and drink options. The only thing every single person in our group didn't like was the volume of the music. Too ridiculously loud at 5:30. Was impossible to talk to the person 2 seats overwithout literally yelling. Maybe bring it down a notch especially so early in the evening.

Better bar food around, quick services and easy to know when you?re food is ready. Good for a quick bite on a Tuesday or bandaid to make it through the night in a Saturday afternoon
