I'm not a bar kind of person, but this place was great! It's the best place to have a safe space with great service. They also have live shows and they aren't expensive. There's more than just alcohol, AND they're making the place more handicapped accessible.

This place is amazing!! 🌵 The bar was clean, drinks served quickly with friendly service, and the decor is perfect and so cute for the venue. The stage/music room is perfect as well, with great sound quality and moody lighting. We saw Sour Widows with openers Gash and Dusk here on 6/23/25 and recommend that everyone see a show here! We also greatly appreciated all the friendly posters/stickers we saw and felt very safe. 🫶🏻🇵🇸✊🏾🏳️‍🌈
