Aside from having two bars to choose from, this place has plenty of seating areas to choose from, making it ideal for larger groups. This cozy spot hosts movie nights, meetup groups, and after-work cocktail hunters, and always manages to do it in style. The service can be slow at times, but don’t give them too much of a hard time. The people working the bar are typically very kind and good at what they do. No smoking is allowed inside, except for the side room off of the entrance, so the vibe is generally more relaxed than some of the other spots on the block. It’s a good bar to have a drink and catch up with friends because you don’t have to shout.
