Get a mojito at happy hour with a few small plates to share. If the night goes well, you'll end up here too!

Hit the spot- food like this should be available everywhere in America. Little pricey though

Overpriced and most drinks aren't strong enough. Delicious food though. Go for dinner but head next door for a night out that doesn't include people stepping and spilling on you.

The monster pulled pork is good. I couldn't finish mine though.

Shitty bar service. Came in with my friend at 2pm today to grab a drink, waited 5 mins. We greeted the tall bearded bartender, and he completely ignored us and walked away and chilled in the corner.
