Turan YurdakulSeptember 21, 2014Good music, smiling employees, comfortable seats. Nice place to chillin'.
Friendly staff, but beware there is an 18% service charge which is clearly mentioned on their menu and specials sign.
Claire La ShombOctober 5, 2013Thx Nikki for the delicious cucumber & basil martinis! Jack makes a Great Manhattan! Sam, I want to go to your wine house. Mamma your sweet. Thx for making me feel welcome with Lee.- G. SaxNovember 24, 2013This place has a little bit of everything. Tourist location, whole-in-the-wall vibe, bar food, lounge, what have you. You get out of it what you put into it, so go in happy!
- Popcorn shrimp, pizzas, and meatball sandwich are solid here if you need a bite to eat while you're drinking.
ANNE dasGretJuly 14, 2013Try golden gate Gimlet. Friday+satursay live Music for free. And talk to Sam about his amazing stories.
Ashley StrangeFebruary 17, 2015Love this little bar! Reasonably priced drinks, great service, friendly bartenders!
Amit KariaMay 5, 2017Not the best place to visit, very pricey for mediocre drinks, 20% Service charge mandatory though you can ask to reverse it but seems instead they should let you choose to pay the tip or not
Jon LeslieJune 29, 2014Get the bagel dog! You won't be sorry! Great little place to stop in for a drink and a bite to eat- JessicaJuly 28, 2013They give you free snacks with each drink during happy hour. They also include 18 percent gratuity, so remember that when the bill comes.
- Noel DávilaNovember 13, 2014Great local beers. Sit down, order a round and they'll give you complimentary popcorn.
Lily ScottJanuary 14, 2014Tourist trap. They automatically charge 18% for shitty service, just do not enter.
Jayson PhillipsDecember 7, 2013Place isn't worth walking into. Dubious service charges, overpriced pints of mediocre beer. A tourist trap, pretty much.
