I am from Stockton, but I had never stopped here before and wanted to grab a drink after dinner before heading home. We walked in a bit early, so no one else was there besides us. The vibes felt like walking into a secret room in a Harry Potter movie. The best way I could describe it is dark but welcoming in its own way. I got the Caramelized Pineapple Margarita which is pictured on the left. My friend got a cute design on hers! (I forgot what exactly she ordered). Alejandro was our bartender and gave us great service. With time, more people began to trickle in. Overall great drink really refreshing but has a small kick to it. Would recommend. If you just want to hang out and grab a drink.

We came here for the Restaurant Week special and while the food was great, I feel like $30 is a bit pricey for a chicken sandwich, fries and a dessert that came out frozen. The fries came out first as an appetizer so they were cold by the time my sandwich came. The portion of fries was huge and the sandwich was tasty but the dessert was frozen and seemed store bought. Cocktails were great and the service was excellent. I loved the mood, decor and ambiance of this place but it's very tiny with limited seating. Maybe there is more seating in the back? It also got really loud really quickly. Anyway, we will have to try this place for Happy Hour or something next time. Thank you for the great service, food and drinks!

Came into town for a competition, wanted a burger and drinks saw this place pop up and man was it a good choice! Great folks, great atmosphere and most importantly the food was freaking amazing! Elote fries a must!

Not worth the time or energy. We went with some friends before a comedy show due to the high ratings. They were severely understaffed, and it really showed. Drinks took so long that we didn't even want to try and reorder one when my wife wasn't happy with her overly sugary drink. Food was hit or miss, but it was the service that was an absolute nightmare. They took a credit card at the beginning.... I guess so we wouldn't run out on our bill... not really making us feel great about the overall hospitality, but this is where it went south fast. We ordered appetizers and had to eat them off of the plate that it was brought on because they never brought extra plates to share and never cleaned them up once we were done. Food came out staggered, and people were done before the rest even got their food. Then the table behind us started getting upset because apparently they had a bunch of food charged on their bill they didn't order. On top of that, the first half of their bill was charged on my friends card. It was a complete mess. It took over an hour and a half to have the waitress figure it out. When she was done, she apologized and said she gave us a huge discount for all the confusion. We were late to our show and the next day found out they changed my friends account 2 times and completely denied the discount. When we called the owner to figure out what happened , he said that if we contested it with the bank he he would make the waitress pay the difference. What an absolutely disgusting way to treat your staff. We will never go back and plan on letting anyone we know it's not worth the trouble.

Didn't see a menu I don't know if they have food It's small and it feels a bit cramped but it makes up with the outside seating People were friendly including the bouncer I think they need more space some games maybe? I change my mind about the original 3 ⭐ rating to 4 because the costumer service was good One important part of being a bartender is to know when your customer have enough and there were right on top of it good job 👍

This may sound crazy but this place has a very dark demonic present . This place is not a great place has super weird and angry energy. Piss all-over bathroom floor. Which can cause someone to catch a communicable disease(with the type of people who feel it okay to piss everywhere). Prices redundant for three basic drinks $37 dollars. No, thank you, one being a beer, so $15 dollars a drink 6 dollars for an 8 ounce bottle beer.Your better off buying your own alcohol and chilling at home at this point. I support local business, but they lack the follow-through in all area and provide subpar sevice to none. It's true the company you keep will either be your growth or downfall. The energy was absolutely not good and unsanitary. Update: No need to wait for your scary tours. It is already filled with dark energy and lost souls. No, thanks, we don't mess with your kind of unkind, not genuine souls. Thanks, but no thanks, we stay in light and pure love and always will!!!

How is this place rated so high !?!? Service horrible. Never came to pick up plates once finished. Hardly ever checked in on us. Drinks ok. Burgers just ok as well. Mixed up our check with table next to us and then gave us their card. Apologized and said they were giving discount for how long we had to wait for them to figure it all out and then once we left charged the card AGAIN later that night for a second charge for same amount. They are refusing to reverse charge and threatening us to take money from their waitress if we stop payment with our bank. BEWARE of this establishment. Will not return.

Great hole-in-the-wall. Really good food and drinks. Burgers were very well made, tasty, and well presented. Servers were friendly and nice. Great ambience and dimly lit. Would definitely come back here to grab another drink or two.
