    Take your pup along for happy hour! Monday to Wednesday are the best days to come with your dog since it usually isn't too crowded.

    Nice small bar. Hang out in the outdoor patio area in the back if there's room.

    Good bar, was empty on a friday night but then again maybe thats how SoMa is late night. Good drinks though! Use the Rocketbot mobile app to control the music!

    The name doesn't lie. Stick to the basics here. My Manhattan was shaken just enough to turn muddy but not enough to actually chill it. Cheap happy hour though!
