Very nice place to go have amazing drinks and food! Staff, food and at atmosphere great! Will definitely be back. Only thing I did not like was Sitting right by the door that leads out tonthe side walk. Very cold! Not sure why the staff was going in and out there? No tables or people. Think it should be assessable for fire code but not to just go out and smoke:). Amazing spot tho!!!! 5 stars
