    The standards are well executed and the snacks are a perfect companion. Cheers! 🍸

    Bouncers are racists, but the drinks are ok.

    Usually overrun by suits, I went on a Sunday eve when it was all quiet and low key chill. My expectations were low but I was happily surprised.

    The Maid to Order was refreshing and light! Perfect summer cocktail.

    Avoid this rat hole like the plague. They are also being sued for being bigots.

    Great cocktails at great prices for the neighborhood, but the bar area itself is very loud.

    The burgers are really good and nice cocktails. I tried and really enjoyed the sarsaparilla drink.

    Kind of douchey crowd but the cocktails and hamburgers are great.

    Get the made to order. Decor is fun and cool, drinks are spot on and great crowd.

    From the people at ACME. Gets crowded after work so come closer 9 to get a seat at the bar. Good cocktails but nothing mind blowing.

    “The bar is a sort of baby Bungalow 8, or, as one patron described it, a place for 'young people skewing old and old people skewing young.'” Read more

    The signature burger is homemade wonderfulness. Sweet staff, drinks and vibes.

    Get the burger and split the side of fries with someone (it's more than enough)

    Horrible service, rude staff and very, very overpriced. I won't be returning.

    Nice after work crowd. Solid burger, but nothing to write home about - especially with +$4 for fries. Brussels Sprouts FTW

    The Happiest Burger is incredible. They also make a mean Negroni...

    Pretty standard cocktail / bar scene. Was comfortably crowded at 10:30 pm on a Friday. When we left at around 12 there was a line down the block.

    Very slow service. When the food came, the sides were burnt and the burger was RAW! How do you take an hour to cook a rare burger? Funny thing is, I ordered the burger cooked medium well.

    Buouni cocktail in ambiente relax con ottimi stuzzichini da accompagnare ai drink.

    Тут хотя бы есть музыка, но часто приходится ждать на входе, потому что много людей.
