| - I like the atmosphere in here -- it's semi-throwback without being douchey about it. Unfortunately I'm not a huge fan of whisky, rye, bourbon, scotch, cognac, brandy, or gin, and most of the drinks on their menu are based off one or more of these, since they're old-timey-type drinks. They do have one vodka-based drink (ahh, now you have my attention), the Manhattan Avenue, which I order every time I go because it's pretty damn tasty (cinnamon on the rim is a rare find, and it works well with this drink). Their little tapas-type bar food offerings are decently tasty (chicken parm sliders, caprese salad in toothpick-skewer form, spaghetti & meatball bites, and calamari are some of the ones I've tried), and they make a good alternative to sitting down for a full-on dinner before you head out elsewhere for the evening. Service has been a bit slow at times, in that it can sometimes take a while to get initially acknowledged if you're not sitting at the bar, or if there are more than 10 people in there. As reviewer Ed M. noted, the bartenders aren't always knowledgable about cocktails that aren't on their menu, even simple/common ones. I agree that it's good, but could be great with a little help in the service department.
