Kindness and Great Food!
My experience at the restaurant was wonderful. The staff were incredibly kind and went out of their way to help me when I was short on water, a gesture that truly goes a long way. I will definitely be visiting again to enjoy more than just water. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect, rated 5 stars for both. The service was also top-notch, receiving a 5-star rating, and the wait time was non-existent. It was a quiet and pleasant environment, making it easy to talk.

Almost kicked out for being tired
I came in with my daughter, who bartends herself. After one drink at almost one in the morning, she went to get the Uber. Because I am almost 40 years old, worked all day, took care of three teenagers, wore heels, and was tired with sore feet, the bartender almost kicked me out of the bar. The atmosphere was a 5, but the service was a 1.

Horrible Service, Never Again!
My experience at this restaurant was horrible. The service was incredibly mean to me and my friends. We waited over an hour, and the noise level was very loud, making it hard to hear. I will never go here again!

Great Food, Chill Patio
My experience at this restaurant was great, especially for an after-work beer. The food was excellent, scoring a 5 out of 5. While it can get loud on the inside, the chill patio is perfect for a conversation. The atmosphere received a 4 out of 4, and the service also got a 4. The price per person was between $20–30.

Great Drinks and Service!
I had a great time chatting with my friend here and having cocktails. The service from Angel was great and he definitely enhanced the atmosphere. It was very busy, but he made sure everyone was well taken care of. I would definitely come back for more drinks anytime.

Hidden Gem with Great Drinks and Food
I discovered this place, a true gem 💎, as it was the closest bar to me after work on a Saturday night. The bartender, Angel, crafted a perfect martini 🍸. The food was delicious, and the vibes were high. With a comedy club just a few blocks away, I 💯 recommend pre-gaming here.

Convenient Beer Spot with Outdoor Seating
My experience at this restaurant was positive. I got a reasonably priced beer. It was convenient to work and I enjoyed the outdoor seating. They did not take cards but accepted Venmo.

Great Bar with Awesome Shiner Bock
My experience at this restaurant was great, particularly the bar area. The GM was a super nice chap. They also have Shiner Bock on tap, which is awesome!
