Came here in a Sunday night and drinks were great. Musical bingo was super fun! Only had a small bar menu available so choices very limited. Everyone super nice.

Went there at night and had a blast. It got pretty crowded as the night went on so be prepared to not have much personal space but great hip hop and R&B music and atmosphere. The drinks are a little pricey but are big and strong. Will be going again with friends!

They've recently added a food menu , and I was blown away. I had the Azorean Steak beyond delicious. Atmosphere is nice, cleaned up inside. Played a game of pool and had some drinks. Definitely a nice vibe and decent prices for spending some time out. Worth a try.
