In terms of atmosphere, this has to be one of my favorite spots for an intimate drink. It is dark and grainy, a small space that feels personal and warm without being affected. Their old fashioned is one of my favorites in the city and their drinks generally are exceptionally well crafted. They had a great wine menu and it is half-priced bottles on Tuesdays. Most of all, however, I love their music. It fits the venue perfectly. The fact that I noticed the music at all is rare but it is done so exceptionally well here. I want their playlist. It if was on songza, I'd play it anytime I was having drinks with someone.
The food I was less excited about. I had the duck which was good but not fantastic. I had some other things as well but they don't really stand out. That said, I overlook all of that for what I love about the place.
