If you just want to chill and have a few good drinks: ge there before 10pm when all the theater crowds show up.

Skip the happy hour cocktails and order off the regular menu

Crowded with mix of tourists and post-work drinks. Reasonable at happy hour, otherwise skip.

The red-haired waitress was very inelegant with us. She give us the worst table even an empty bar.At the time of paying we were coerced into paying a tip saying that it was the rule of the house
