$6 blue moon on tap. $6 tacos for happy hour, monday- Thursday, 4-6 pm. Easily the best vibes & tacos in this area. The beef tacos taste amazingly good and the chicken also went well. I love the outdoor cabana seating blocking the sun yet you still feel the breeze. Pretty busy here but I managed to share a table that had space. Parked my bike on the side. The menu & sidewalk sign needs to be updated to reflect $6 tacos currently 😇 Good 👍 TACOS

This is not just a bar. The atmosphere is eclectic with relaxing vibes. We went mid afternoon. We had the mason jar of margaritas, very good perfect portions to share. We also had the fried veggie dumplings. Amazing!! Definitely a must when you’re in the City.

All fives here I liegit love this spot first off 100 dollar pitcher and 8 people can have a drink that is approximately 12.5 each for a delightful Moscow mule… Additionally I enjoy the vibes and music here they have a banging soundtrack and it gets very lit

Lively young professional spot with great cocktails, but the vibe shifts dramatically after 10pm. The music gets too loud and it becomes overcrowded, making it difficult to have a conversation. If you're looking for a place to mingle and dance, this is your spot. However, if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, I'd recommend coming earlier. More of a bar-club hybrid. While cocktails are no longer available after 10pm, the bar still serves wells, beers, and shots.

It was a great atmosphere with beautiful outdoor seating and a giant TV indoors perfect for watching sports. It is a great little bar of catching up with your friends or grabbing a quick drink before going out. It is in a great location. The servers don't necessarily come around often, especially if you are outside, but they are very nice. The drinks are expensive even with happy hour prices, but they have great food deals and a wide array of bites to choose from. I definitely recommend going between 4pm -6pm to check it out.
