No food. The bartender was very nice and she let us try a few samples of the beers on tap since we couldn't decide which one to have. It's a cute little bar. Clean and nicely decorated. It was quiet enough to have conversations inside, which is nice. There was karaoke that night but nobody was singing when we were there.

Cool spot, came here on a Monday looking for a place that stays open late, this place blew my expectations for a regular bar, we had a DJ playing house music, the strobe ball was cool, great low lit ambience, felt like a goth bar with a modern kick to it, booth seating was comfy and spacious. Drinks acceptable, had a few beers on tap and Espresso Martini, this is now my mid week go to spot. Definitely will come back.

This is a Bar Only, No Food. Bartenders do a great job. The place is extremely small and tight. Has a Retro Theme going, which is pretty cool. DJ spins great music in Friday night after 9pm. I only went there 2x with a group meeting earlier in the eve and left by 10pm. Parking is very hard, but I heard there's a larger parking nearby that's supposed to be OK to park.

Great cocktail bar and lounge with music and events pretty much every night. Great bartenders, nice redlit ambiance, and a nice drink selection. Staple Costa Mesa watering hole.

I had a great time celebrating a friend’s birthday last Saturday at this bar. Rosie and Britney were very friendly and quick on the service!

Always a good time. Great staff and fun karaoke. Parking isn’t fun but that’s not the bars fault. Drinks are reasonably priced considering any other options nearby. Treat the staff with kindness and tip well.

This is a cute bar. The drinks were all short and fine. Not great. They were fine. The Long Island Ice Tea I ordered was almost all ice, served in a short glass and not very good at all. It was also $16. The drinks are very high priced but you’d never know because there is no drink menu or prices in sight. The bartender that closed that night made the worst drinks. His name is David and could be heard yelling on his cell phone that there was no one in the bar so he was closing early. Maybe if the drink was as stiff as the bill more people would have stayed. The restrooms were filthy. I won’t ever go back again.
