As one review mentioned waitstaff was rude and not attentive, until their friends showed up... For the price, beer was tiny and the nachos were horrible. Needless to say would notgo back and cannot recommend. We went to Southern Kin for more drinks.

I went a few years ago and it was eh. Thought I?d give it another chance and now I keep going back. The food is good. The drinksare amazing. Sarha, the bartender is always welcoming me when she sees me and makes room for me at her bar anytime I come. Themanager, Olivia, is very profession. I?ve had Corey and Sophie as servers- they are so attentive. I have brought all my friendsthere and they love it as much as I do. I recommend this place to everyone that?s looking for a vibe and bomb drinks and barfood.
