Way cool bar located in the back of an establishment I NEVER had plans to step into- what a waste of time/how silly I've been! I was delighted to find this multi faceted business' offerings- delicious cocktails and mocktails, ice cream, and a welcoming atmosphere for all. Our server was a statuesque, lovely brunette- I didn't catch her name, but she was also attired in what had to be the coolest outfit I'd seen in a while. Especially for COS. She was attentive (but not overbearing) and made our mocktails with perfectly delicious precision. On my way out, I noted that there are themed nights and performances galore, outside of games. I'll be back.
