Great bar, crowd and impeccable cocktails. Sadly, had to leave due to an asthma attack triggered by one of the plants. I would review those plants and ensure they are hypoallergenic! Also, as a dj myself, I was expecting a better sound system for such a nice place! If they invest into a better sound system it would be perfect. Wish I could say I’ll come back but I cannot due to the plants! Thanks for the great service nonetheless — Great people

Mack made the night. Zach, Ash, and Mack were very sweet and professional. Drinks were delicious and everyone was very chill. Always be smart and safe, and if you had a good time here leave a review! Very nice atmosphere.

I met my girlfriend here. We’ve been together for like 2.5 years now. Thanks honeys! Also, to the people complaining about having to tip the bartender- stay home? You’re probably a horrible person and bringing the energy down anyways. Place is small, so expect to be close to people.

As one of the only lesbian bars in the city, i would expect a greater degree of hospitality and courtesy. Previously, we tipped 20% on top of the mandated gratuity, even though the bartenders act questionably. We wanted to show our friends what the queer scene can look like and we left utterly disappointed. Don’t expect any sense of community or respect, especially for queer women of color.

The vibe was great. Definitely a safe space for everyone. The drinks were not it though. A few people in my group ordered some of their specials and they all disliked them. I ordered a Paloma and it did not taste like a Paloma at all - bartender added so many extra ingredients; the guy next to me even questioned the drink. The music was decent but the dj kept turning the music up louder and louder every 10 minutes. A clown showed up.. random. Bartenders did tell you up front about the automatic 16% gratuity charge.

Man I’m from out of town and was so excited to hit the night scene with my friend! The bartender ANGE was totally rude! I tried to order a Negroni and a Long Island and she told that she couldn’t make a Long Island so when she helped other people, I waited and watched her make four double dirty Shirley’s. When I went to order a different drink (a double Moscow mule) She proceeded to tell me that she couldn’t make doubles. I thought it was super weird! I was like, "I just watch you make four doubles" and then she told me she would make this exception for me and proceeded to short pour me(I bartend as well) It was only the second round I ordered of the night! When I ordered a third round, a different bartender had no problem making me a double. I ordered six drinks (3 rounds of 2) For me and my friend and when I got the bill, I noticed they added two extra drinks. Super scetchy and weird bar!! Check your tabs!!! Don’t go to ANGE! Weird vibes!!
