Went for after dinner drinks and was blown away. The ambiance in this place is amazing and it’s a great place to grab a cocktail with your date. The bartender makes an excellent Kir Royal. My only complaint is that the music was too loud, especially when the place is packed with people.

I would definitely go back for happy hour or during the middle of the day when it isn’t packed with people.

Great place with an old-fashioned spirit, Love the drinks love the food wish we could’ve stayed longer.

I love this place! I love entering through the “secret” door from the hostel, the dark interior that calls smoky barrooms from the 40’s to mind, the Frank Sinatra tunes on the stereo (you could/should turn this down, please) and the cool drinks at reasonable prices.

And, the food menu has expanded a bit, since my first visit. I enjoyed the chicken salad, but I would ask that you serve some items NOT on bread. Hummus on a sweet hamburger type bun just doesn’t do it for me!

Best mixologist in town (wish I’d caught his name, so I could plan my visits around his work shift)

Wonderful little hidden gem – literally – in the midst of 6th street madness!

Speakeasy feel, dark lighting and an overall “cool” vibe. Great ambiance, not too crowded and wonderful cocktails, according to friends. We didn’t eat there but I definitely want to go back to try a few of the menu items!

Can’t wait to go back.
