I have to say that this little hole in the wall place took me by surprise! I walked in not expecting too much because it was so late, but was warmly welcomed by a gal named Emma and Richie. They both made me feel right at "home" and asked me what I would like to drink. I ordered an Aperol Spritz and made it promptly…they asked questions about how I preferred mine and served me an amazing drink! Emma is super sweet, kind, and prompt. There is no waiting around. Richie made me a Thai flatbread that was fantastic. I almost ate the entire thing and that’s saying a lot for me, as I typically pick at my food. It was truly something you wouldn’t typically get at a bar. Attention in the details and I greatly appreciate that! I will absolutely return, as this little bar has both style and amazing customer service. It was a joy to be able to go inside and just relax and be taken care of after a long week. I loved the decor. The art hanging on the walls was beautiful and the blown glass lighting was awesome. I also really enjoyed the stained leaded glass decoration behind the bar. Lots of thought has gone into everything and looks very well put together. Thanks for a wonderful evening out - you will see me again! -Angela
Wonder atmosphere. Jordan and his coworkers were a wonderful to be around. The music was good and wasn’t overwhelmingly loud. The cocktails were great and the alcohol packed a punch. The appetizers were great pairings with the drinks we ordered. Highly suggest this location and it’s great because we were staying at the Ruby hotel, the bar was right there it was so convenient!
I was in town and stayed at hotel ruby and to my surprise this super cute lounge was down stairs, I didnt catch anyone's name but was greated and everyone was super nice, I ordered the Huckleberry lemon drop martini and it was amazing! I know if im ever back in the area where im going to be stopping.
We showed up at 11 which I understand is late but when showing up an hour before close you would expect to be served. We were only expecting to get one beer and a double Jameson while deciding on where to eat but when we opened the door the server/bartender said they were closed. Pouring a beer and a double Jameson neat doesn’t take over 40 minutes. Very disappointing: at least when asked she pointed us in the right direction to a bar that was still open but disappointing all the same. Highly recommend going to the satellite instead. Save yourself the time. Servers were great as was the food.
Terrible place terrible staff. I’m currently sitting in here at the bar, for the past 20 minutes no one has greeted me or asked if I wanted a drink. Do not spend your money here. The bartenders are actively talking to the people next to me and acting like I do not exist. Is it my job to make my self feel the hospitality of a business I walk in to?
Absolutely beautiful drinks and they tasted perfect. Seth and mindy were really kind to us, they also made sure to check in on us to make sure the drinks and service were good.
We visited here before a show at the Bing Crosby theater. The cocktails are spot on. Attention to every detail. Cool atmosphere.
