Pocket Sun: Nice and intimate atmosphere, great for a cocktail date! The cocktails with egg white are interesting, but I prefer the sweeter ones. The entrance is very hidden so you gotta be looking for it.
L K: The intimate atmosphere let's you focus on your private party and forget there are even other patrons. Cozy, trendy, and amazing cocktails.
Diana Friess: Put your cell phone away (house rules) and enjoy the carefully hand-crafted cocktails amongst your friends or with a date in this cozy & intimate spot. Avoid the crowds on a weeknight or Sunday.

Madeline Gullett: It's all about the Chia Seed Pudding! Best I've ever had. Beatrix is also so adorable, warm, and cozy inside. Great for your morning coffee and gluten free muffin, lunch, dinner, and dessert!!
Bitches Who Brunch: The Bitches say: B-. Beatrix may be cozy with inexpensive entrees; however their house-baked treats are nothing to rave about, and their cuisine falls just short of taking brunch to the next level. Read more.
