Benny is awesome and barlead at this place the vibe is always on! Tequila Tuesday hits!
The only good thing was the reggaeton music. It was way too hot in there even though it was not fully packed. We were told there was a fee to get in, but when we began to walk away, they changed their mind and said it was free. Then I tried to get some water, but the service was not the best and they said I can only buy a water bottle, and once I did, I saw other people were given free cups of water. Nothing seemed consistent except the DJ.
No food available and no beers on tap working at 6pm on a Thursday. Not sure why they were even open.
If the drinks weren't so good, I would have given this place a ⭐⭐. The bartender treated me very poorly. The male next to me got great service. I had the Lolita which was delicious. Their paloma moderate. Music inside was great.
Showed up on a Sunday night for a friends birthday evening. It was dead, which in a bar isnt a bad thing. This bar has some class and original artwork and definitive atmosphere. The crowd was very pleasant as well as the staff and struck up intelligent and friendly conversation. The bartender actually knew how to make a drink too.
Great GREAT sound. Front room. Back room needs _something_ perhaps bass. Great environment/vibe. Good drinks.
The gin and tonic was too weak. Anyway it was a pretty friendly crowd. Even the bouncers were very courteous when he told us the table was reserved. The music had a techno/disco beat on a Saturday night.
