WHAT OUR
GUESTS
SAY
Big deck confirmed. 3 stories often with live music on the first, 2 bars on the patio up top with an amazing view. Good drink selection as well
Calvin Taylor
Great dive as far as downtown goes. Triple-floor with a smoking deck up top and a killer staff.... Very respectful and follow the pandemic protocol well. Lots of TVs and just a short drive from westport/midtown.
Robert Grant
Tuesdays are a little slow but the overall atmosphere is anything anyone would be looking for from chill to live to enjoy a rooftop experience.
Elmo Holmes
Three floors--three different atmospheres to drink or eat, hear live music/dance or whatsoever hootenannies.
Narrow stairwells to negotiate on egress. Know your limit if you go to the open air deck up top... The stairs win against all inebriated users going down.... or up....
