Description

Nestled in Capitol Hill, this restaurant-bar offers a mixed bag of experiences. Guests appreciate its inviting patio and cozy interior, ideal for enjoying shareable plates like nachos and delicious fried chicken sandwiches. Service can be hit or miss, with some patrons reporting rude bartenders and inconsistent attitudes. While bartenders occasionally exhibit a dismissive demeanor, others provide friendly and attentive service. Music choices have sparked debate, and some have faced identification issues. However, the overall ambiance, combined with decent drink offerings and engaging events, makes it a noteworthy spot for those seeking a casual outing. A visit might just surprise you.

When we moved to the patio, we found several sticky tables, and the music was gangster rap. As the only person of color in a bar full of white patrons, it felt like an odd choice of music. If you're planning to spend $12-$14 on a drink at a patio, you can definitely find a better place. And by the way, there’s no happy hour here.

I’m Canadian, and I was denied service despite the law stating that I should be allowed service. Eventually, I was kicked out for allegedly causing a “fuss.”

They have a patio at the front and an even larger one at the back that offers a lovely view.

Wednesday nights are the best if you're looking to sing or enjoy local talent. Victor is an excellent host if you’re feeling brave enough to try karaoke!
