This charming little gem is a fantastic spot! The live music is excellent, and there's a cozy atmosphere perfect for hanging out with friends. While they don’t serve food, you’re welcome to bring your own. Plus, there are plenty of safe parking options available throughout the entire block.

What a fantastic little hidden gem of a bar! I've loved their outdoor space in the summer, but I only got a chance to check out the inside last week. The interior is a true rock 'n' roll dive bar, complete with dollar bills stuck to every surface in a charming way. The drink prices are incredible, and the bartender was attentive, funny, and always smiling. I can't wait to return!

Beards, Babes, and Booze! From the moment I stepped into this place, I could tell I was in for a great time. The bar buzzed with laughter and excitement, creating an electric atmosphere. The drinks were strong and surprisingly affordable. The staff was welcoming and friendly, making me feel right at home. Overall, this is the best bar I've ever been to. Forget the Bromuda Triangle on Division and come experience how a real bar should be!

I had never had any interest in this place, but a friend dragged us there and you know what? It's actually a pretty cool little bar. And when I say little, I mean it. It's tiny. But the back patio is nice.

Riff is The coolest Bar ever I think it tops the Comet in Seattle. Colten The best bartender. Is sweet and keeps a good eye on the patrons...Eclectic music...groovy patrons, super cheap beers. Hidey Hole It’s an overstatement. More like bee tube hole.
