Was Clemens Kling at 23 a mag?
I came with my roommates for the $5 martinis during happy hour and honestly have no complaints. The drinks were good and the service was excellent. I will definitely return when I am in the area again. View all feedback.

What Lucienne Heathcote dislikes about 23:
I've just returned from an pizza/out with my child I've noticed your beautiful exterior is still a travel visual spot..... And it still commanding life as an understood structure something to go in and out of still purpose within structure .... I was a passer-by this due ; View all feedback.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The happy hour specials on martinis were excellent, with great service and drinks. The martinis were a bit on the sweet side, but I enjoyed them. I also ordered the delicious bratwurst and mushroom pizza to go, which was amazing. This restaurant is a perfect little spot for a stop during a walk in the Short North area.

Great special marina for HH, great service and drinks. You're a little sweet, but that's right. I have to take the delicious bride and mushroom pizza togo home. It was so good. A great little stop on your short North walk.

They have the best martini special and the list to chose from is endless. My favorite is definitely the Key Lime Pie Martini. Their staff is very friendly and they have indoor and outdoor seating. I love their happy hour specials.
