- My go-to spot for anyone - fantastic menu, always excellent service and the music is always on-point. Perfect for dates, family dinners, visitors, or just grabbing $1 Oysters at Happy Hour.
AnnaOctober 12, 2015Oysters are the bomb! Good classic drinks (except for the part where there is too much garnish in your glass), shaken - not so much. Huge whiskey selection. Delicious food menu

Christopher MichaelJuly 28, 2019Place has an awesome ambience with dark lighting and cool Kong’s on the walls. Must try their old fashioned. Nothing short of divine.
Paul GrimyserFebruary 26, 2016Good food, loved the surf and turf burger. Solid beer and cocktail selection!
The $1.50 Oysters during Happy Hour and try the whiskey boy cocktail.
Lou EdwardsJuly 22, 2016Whisky. If you like it you must go in and try s new one. The hand crafted old fashion is outstanding!!!!!
