This is a fun place. Lots of whiskey and some beer. The bartenders are just amazing and will help you find what you are looking for. I had a great Manhattan with Michters rye whiskey and it was perfect. But they have a huge selection of whiskey see the photo. It is a little small and can be loud. But will be back.

Been coming here for years, and even after a 6 year hiatus, it still hit all the high notes. Great bartenders, great atmosphere, great drinks. This one was a banana rum concoction, and it was amazing. Highly recommend!

This place is great. I was looking for a cozy, dim-light atmosphere that was relatively quiet for conversation. This nailed it, I’m very glad I stopped by. I’ll definitely be back in the future
