I recently came here on a frigid weekday evening around 9pm. I must say that Yuzu was a wonderful, warm reprieve from the blustery night.
The bar was fairly crowded so my friend and I grabbed a seat in the dining space where there was ample seating. First and foremost, the beer and cocktail menu is not only beautifully curated, but hilarious and witty with on-trend references like the 3am Snap Story cocktail. I had a Platform Xmas ale which was one of the best Christmas ales I've tried.
As far as the food goes... I was able to try the food at a previous Yelp event and I'm drooling over the fries right now. They offer tasty, unique bites that they serve until late which is a nice option over the usual 24-hour diner fare. Staff is friendly and accommodating.
Additionally, they are always hosting clever events like The Oregon Trail bar crawl.
While I was there, some guy at the bar bought the whole house of 20+ people a round of shots. That's the kind of place Yuzu is.
It's warm, it's friendly, it's unpretentious. It's your new Cheers.
Grab a friend and go here for a great beer or cocktail, conversation and some tasty late night bites. You won't be disappointed.
