Kitchen closes a little too early, which I was told is a COVID change that never went back to normal, so we didn't stay past the first drink on my last visit. We were really looking forward to eating there again after enjoying our first visit the week or two prior, but didn't realize how late it was (we arrived just after 10pm that evening). Aside from that, they have good food, good drinks, good music, good specials, and good people (Melissa and Sanda took good care of us in my two visits). The first visit, we went for a random late afternoon lunch date on like a Tuesday. He got the Pig Mac and I got the buffalo chicken tots. Both were really good, so I'll def be back, just a little earlier in the day.

Great atmosphere great conversation and the bar was absolutely awesome, place your drink on the neon light and it keeps it ice cold.

First time visitor, right away I give two big thumbs up to the security gentlemen at the door, he was polite and friendly without being the least overbearing or high on power. The bar was somewhat smaller inside than I anticipated, but quite busy. It was curious to me other patrons approached me when I ordered at the bar and stated I "look too smart to be here," and that I was "too polite." Nonetheless, the patron who made these comments entertained a polite exchange in conversation fir a minute or two, an highly irregular occurrence at least for me in visiting bars. The bartender was polite and attentive, speedy with service. My big gripe was it was just too bloody loud, the music volume was so high it was necessary to have to almost yell to speak to anyone, which I find uncomfortable. I didn't stay long, the volume was overwhelming. I might consider dropping in here in the future in my rare travels to the northeast, but likely earlier in the day or a weekday evening to ensure I don't lose my hearing.

Great little bar with surprisingly good food. The flank egg rolls and boom sauce salad were very good but the meat left a little too be desired

Amazing bar with great food and even better drinks. The service really stood out — I accidentally spilled my drink and our waiter Bobby replaced it for free without hesitation. He was incredibly kind and made us feel so welcome. Bobby is an amazing guy and truly went above and beyond. I would absolutely bring all my friends here and can’t wait to come back
