Chill spot for drinks. Not sure what vibe they aiming for but some good draft selections for a reasonable price. No food here.

Not just a friendly face behind the bar but a smart thinker, deft shaker, and creative mind. The seasonal cocktail specials were on point, covered the range from tart to sweet and made these two revellers very happy. The music on Tuesday is great we hear, even though we were too late to listen to it. Great place. Must come back.
