| - This place recently opened up. We came here for a Birthday drinks celebration because all the lounges in uptown were charging an entry fee due to the basketball game that was going on. This place is on the lower level, which at first it was hard to find. Once you get to Qdoba, go down the stairs on the right and then turn left and you will see this establishment. The place is a bit small, they do have nice leather couches and these barrels they use as tables. They also serve drinks in jars instead of regular glasses. Which is kind of cute. I got a strawberry mojito and it was $9, while it was really good(crushed strawberries, sweet, and a whole strawberry on the rime of the jar), I thought that was a bit much. But I think their beer selection is fairly reasonably price, no wonder they only list their beer prices and not other drinks. Which I think was kind of deceiving, like one of the reviewers below said, they didn't really know what price to charge their drinks, and I sort of suspected this, since they don't give you a tab of the actual drinks you bought but just the sum you have to pay at the end. The lady at the registered asked if I wanted to start a tab when I purchased my first drink. I gladly hand over the card. When I wanted to get the bill she asked what my name...I don't see the point of you starting my tab if you can't remember which card is mine. What if she had accidentally charged my card with other people's drinks? And then she told me American Express is not accepted, why didn't she tell me that when I handed her the card? I feel like all in all with how their tabs run and how they don't list prices for their drinks, this place is a bit disorganized. Oh, and I think my friend called the number listed on Yelp to make a reservation, apparently she told me that number doesn't work, so you guys might want to confirm with another source. I do have to say that they are trying to get some props for just starting up, when my friend made the Birthday reservation we arrived with a balloon on our table, a hand written card and a sign that says table reserved. that was thoughtful, so I do have to give them credit for trying. However, despite the nice interior, they place is a bit cramped and need more seating. We were told we couldn't move over more chairs to our party or had to place our chairs a certain way, frankly, who wants to hear this at a bar? I think this place needs to be ironed out, it's trying to be upscale but it doesn't have the necessary ingredient to be upscale.
