Local expert Paola Martinez

First or all this spot is so cool and picturesque! Their staff is so friendly and so diverse, they host local events with local artist and their drinks are super theme coded! So interesting and fun! If you like to switch out the routine I definitely recommend you to visit this place. During October and December their decorations go above and beyond with the seasonal activities. So it's a must visit spot next time you are in town!

Cute decorations and good vibes, but the bartenders were honestly very rude. They had bad attitudes, were obviously talking trash about us behind the bar, and were inconsiderate to us as patrons. As the faces of the establishment it left me feeling pretty negative, I don’t see myself coming here anytime soon because of it.

The details of this xmas decor was fantastic! It seems like absolute hell for the door guy and the servers but they rocked it with a smile on their faces and the patience of all the unworldly gods. Food was fantastic and the drinks were strong. Would come back 10/10

I was with a group of 3 and the hostess was great , BUT the waiter was rude short and didn’t care to give us suggestions when we asked for drink recommendations. No wonder they do a 20% tip included and they don’t care for their customers. She acted like we were disturbing her when we asked for additional napkins.First and last time I go, fries were burnt I had dark brown fries, drink has hella ice and not much liquid don’t go to this place if u want to talk with friends they rush you out.

I came into Busy Body for a drink and left very impressed. The vibe is colorful, cozy, and fun, with great music and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer than planned. Drew the bartender was friendly, helpful, and clearly knows his craft. The standout moment: I ordered a burger with no onions or pickles (not an allergy, just a preference). The cook thoughtfully checked in because the sauce had a small amount and wanted to be sure. Totally unnecessary, incredibly appreciated, and a great example of how much this place cares.That level of care for my anti-onion lifestyle was unexpected and deeply appreciated. Great food, thoughtful staff, and zero judgment.The owner (s) should be proud of this place runs smooth like your favorite vinyl. No scratches. Busy Body has officially earned a repeat customer (#1 hit).

We were very lucky that we showed up before there was a huge line! It was so festive and beautiful inside and there's specialty drinks were absolutely adorable! A little on a spendy side but it's the holidays and it's a special occasion! My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Happy Holidays!!!
