Honestly just a terrible experience. Only went in for a quick drink with a buddy. We were planning to stay longer, but the bartender kept asking for more and more in tips. In our inebriated state, it was easier to say yes than to deal with him, but asking for a 25% tip to pour two shots is ridiculous.
The bad drunken karaoke atmosphere was terrible.
I might've visited the location on a bad day as the photos looked promising so I won't hold the atmosphere against them, but the service alone is reason enough for me not to go back.

Nice small “boxcar” bar. Excellent seating inside and outside. Great bartender, nice drink selection, and great food in the parking lot.
It’s right next to the Cobalt so you can hear bands playing next door.
Looking for a small to hang with friends that has a nice vibe? Here you go!

Had a great time, good karaoke, bartenders are super nice, specially J! He welcomed me and my family, suggested some good queer friendly bars/shows in the area and really made our night special! Will definitely be coming back ⭐️
Cute and fun little spot for cocktails. We went pretty late and they were sold out unfortunately of some of the drinks we wanted to try. The ones that we did order were delicious! The service was so-so, I felt that our bartender was giving us some attitude though. The point is that it's supposed to be a long and narrow bar but the layout feels a little awkward for me personally. Would recommend checking it out :)
Loved this bar. Great cocktails, reasonably priced beer too if you prefer that. I liked the cosy/rustic interior.
Great service.
Great service.
I have to say that this place is the real deal! The service was really fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. The joint has a unique vibe that can only be experienced in real-time. Taco truck was serving up some excellent pork tacos. The drink menu is extensive, offering something for every palate!
My favorite beers: Rosales Noir, Jumo
My favorite ciders: Jackpot, Castles in the Sky
My favorite mix drink: Honestley, Cheers
Had to stop there before I fell on my butt, I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!

Fun and exactly what is says on the tin. Cocktails and drinks are good. The environment is old yet modern. The atmosphere is hip and cool. Overall a great experience but I want to now return at night! I feel it would be even better with a little more crowd. I do recommend.
A great hole in the wall type bar. Great atmosphere and great environment. They have local craft beer and specialty cocktails that are typically priced. It's a 8 minute walk from main Street station. A great place to have drinks after a long night out in the city.
