We met some guys who even offered us two beers. The music was good, and the atmosphere was friendly. It was crowded in the evening, but you could easily find a spot on the side of the place to sit and have a drink. We'll be back!

The live music was great, the drinks were reasonably priced, and the bar staff were quick given the crowd. What was truly exceptional about this bar is that when I was verbally accosted and body shamed by an older (drunk) woman, the bar acted incredibly quickly to resolve the situation. The bar staff picked up on it rather quickly, however, my friends and I left as the woman was relentless and made me cry in the bar (by no fault of the bar). By the time I got to the exit I was greeted by the bar manager who was trying to understand the situation and had already removed the woman from the bar. They let me know they didn't stand for that behavior and were even apologetic that they didn't address it sooner, although, in my opinion they addressed it fast and appropriately. I truly appreciate everything the bar staff did to ensure that this experience didnt leave a bad lasting impression on me.
