Amir BaharlouNovember 15, 2015Entire menu looks amazing. We sampled the octopus, bone marrow, and short rib. Everything tastes great. Bourbon and Coke tasted awesome too (made with Mexican Coke!)
- Fodor's TravelSeptember 28, 2017Cocktail menu pays tribute to bourbon country with drinks like the New Fashion, made with Weller 107 Barrel Select, Bitter Truth root and creole bitters, Bittercube’s orange bitters, and maple syrup. Read more
- Latarika YoungFebruary 19, 2016The steak is awesome! And so is the Mac and cheese. My favorite dessert was the salted butterscotch pudding. You can't go wrong with this place.
One down side, however, is that if you expect to see fireworks (Thunder, Jul. 4th, etc.) at the downtown waterfront from here, you will *not* have an unobstructed view.
Orlando GrimanyMarch 25, 2015The ribeye steak is HUGE! But it's so good. Try not to fill up too much before it arrives so you can finish it.- I truly enjoy the downtown view from 8Up's rooftop. The frequently-changing menu offers delectable flavors throughout the seasons.
Yolanda HFebruary 1, 2015Had the rainbow trout..it was good..drinks were also good. Great place to go for atmosphere and people watching!
Dianne HigdonJuly 27, 2019It was a real Fun Place! We had a Great Bartender-Wesley! Good Food & Drinks! Can’t wait to go back!!
Caitlin MannSeptember 9, 2019Nothing better than sitting on the roof deck outside for dinner! Good spot if you’re eating alone or with a group.
Sarah GoodfellowSeptember 27, 2016Awesome craft drinks! My margarita had Grand Marnier Cadillac Foam on top. Pretty awesome!
Mike FentonAugust 6, 2019The bartender outside with the bandana is probably a decent bartender if you have breasts. I do not so I was ignored.
Stuart AdlerJuly 17, 2018Decor & cool design- Nothing else. Food is uninspiring, flavorless, and loaded with sugar!

"Lovely cocktail bar that also has an interesting selection of ciders, wine, and beer. On weekends, there's sometimes live music. I also love that this bar has Wu Tang Wednesdays."
