Behrad EatsJune 26, 2017They got some finger lickin' good Korean-style Chicken Wings, fried and tossed in a sweet and spicy Korean bbq sauce and served with radish, peanuts, cilantro, & kewpie mayo.
- Behrad EatsJune 26, 2017We never pass on the opportunity to order a giant pretzel, and neither should you, especially one served with truffle cheese sauce & beer mustard!
- Behrad EatsJune 26, 2017Start off with the epic Catalan Fries made with chimichurri, romesco, cheese, and a fried egg!
Washington PostSeptember 26, 2013Critic Tom Sietsema's first bite: Get the quartet of steamed shrimp/pork belly dumplings for $6. A Sazerac fan probably will do a double-take when he spots the classic being poured for $8. Read more
Great cocktails and delicious food. Monday HH is amazing. This places fills up quickly so you can't always find a spot by the bar and waiting for a table can take a while.
Awesome selection if whiskey cocktails with multiple versions of an old fashioned on the menu! Each interesting and worth it! Happy hour is oddly short, but lasts all night on Mondays!
Patrick ZornowMarch 15, 2014Sit at the bar if you can! Everything about is place is awesome. The food, the beverages, the atmosphere, and especially the staff. Nick the bartender is really on it with well crafted drinks.- Kate ExpectationsNovember 23, 2015Really cute little spot, great for date night. Low lighting, very reasonably priced food and good service. Wine also decently priced which is rare for US. Recommend the mussels!
The new bartenders changed the original recipes -- the reason I loved this bar. If you order a cocktail ask for less ice, it kinda taste like the original.
Lindsay FranzoniApril 30, 2016The 80's old fashioned was awesome. Also the fries are great with the chimichurri sauce and fried egg on top!
- Behrad EatsJuly 8, 2015Amazing happy hour where you can get fantastic cocktails, like a Sazerac, for just $5!
Abby EggersMarch 10, 2017The cocktails are so interesting and delicious! I think the Clover Club is my favorite. The fries are also just right.
Francis UdlerJanuary 21, 2015Lived this place. Waited very long but got free cinnamon rolls in return. Brunch is great. Burger w/ fried egg
happy hour with $5 and $6 cocktails makes it one of the best places for a Monday night in the neighborhood
Kate CogswellOctober 7, 2013The bar area is pretty small but has a great vibe. Definitely going back! The orange crushes are delicious :)- Karin MillerSeptember 14, 2013Very interesting cocktails, tiki drinks, lovely fenced patio and yummy small plates - fried eggplant balls were amazing.
Itinerant TurophileSeptember 15, 2013One of the best crafted-cocktail lists in the city. Nothing on the menu will disappoint you... amazing.- Craig Collins-YoungSeptember 6, 2013The tiki tap drinks are strong and delicious. The shrimp and belly dumplings are worth your time.
Michael DempseyApril 6, 2014Good happy hour specials. $5-$6 cocktails. Recommend a Suffering Bastard.
Stephan FrankeOctober 6, 2013Sit outside. The 80s Old Fashion and Fried Eggplant Balls are incredible
- Leah BannonOctober 22, 2013Cute place, good veg options, nice patio, and happy hour all night on Monday.
- Went there maybe for the last time. 😞 The two recent times I've been here the food had been subpar and the drinks still aren't being prepared as they use to be. Sigh.
Mike McBryanNovember 28, 201580's Old Fashioned. Definitely don't understand how they make it - but so good.
Drinks are great food is meh. I'll come back to sit at the bar and enjoy the cocktails.- New chef and new menu - big improvement! Drinks are still great.
