Fav new drinking spot, hidden in the arts district- indoors or awesome outdoor patio, 18 taps and pop-up noodle stand!
Great vibe & outdoor space with seating and standing room. Good cocktails that are pricey & too sweet. I love cute little retro trailer bar. There’s a food truck that serves good chilaquiles.
Amazing cocktail list but order off menu. Go with a sidecar (meant to be made with cognac) and perfectly balanced! I am am an admitted classic cocktail snob and it did not did not disappoint! :-)

Beef bourguignon was delicious but pricey
Duck appetizer is the best. Lemon pie also great.
