I didn’t eat while I was there but I went to the open mic on Tuesday and the buy one get one deal for beer was a cool deal and the atmosphere was very chill and the open mic was great too
Plenty of friendly bartenders and strong drinks. Music selection is great with rock and alternating with hip hop. Really enjoy this place. We were there on a Friday night.
Cute, little dive. Space is kind of limited. Order at the bar. Service is pretty quick. Staff is really nice. The lighting is fun! Looks like there's a patio area for when it's nice out!
The bartender always ignores me for some reason and serves people around me. Last night I wanted to close my tab and was ignored again. Then when 2 a.m. hit I was told to "get out". I get you can't serve drinks then but not letting people close their tab? So you can what? Give yourself a 25% tip on more open tabs? Bc if you're not giving yourself a tip then you should have wanted me to close it and add one? Feels illegal
This was Friday September 20 at about 11:49Pm your lovely bartender Dakota got extremely rude and disrespectful because I asked for a caramel apple mule which I always ask for when I go here. He proceeded to give me attitude and throw a fit and say that I am not at Starbucks and I informed him that it’s never been an issue before and I even compromise with using a different vodka to throw the can of ginger beer down at us at the bar top!!! Honestly, every time I have been there previous I’ve never had an issue. It’s always been good service, but Dakota was extremely disrespectful. I’ve been in the Service industry for several years and this is 100% unacceptable
Had a good time with friends, staff was friendly and have AMAZING patience. It got crowed quickly, with a very diverse crowd. Definitely meet some interesting people. Ella and the other bartender (didn't catch his name but he was a big guy with a beard) are probably some of the most efficient bartenders I ever saw in action. You guys rock! 5 STARS
Best happy hour in town- on Tuesdays. Perfect patio and chill vibe. East village staple for YEARS!
