I chose this spot as a mid-town meetup to have a drink with some friends of old. The atmosphere was perfect, cozy and reminiscent of the true "locals" I interloped upon in the UK and Ireland. However I did find the staff dimmed the mood upon arrival. Off the bat, I was told my group of 3 couldn't be seated unless we were eating as well as drinking. Meanwhile the bartender was engaged in a passive aggressive conversation to a local patron that "SOMEONE in this bar I am TOTALLY allergic to. As soon as they walked in I just KNEW..." Ok then. Smashing.
To be fair, the dining area is very small with only a handful of tables. Feeling obligated to order food, we decided on appetizers, to be promptly reprimanded that those are "only." appetizers. So dessert then too, which seemed to calm the beast that was our server. After all this, the food was great and whoever made the vodka and coke made it to perfection. I wouldn't recommend this spot for any group (3+) its simply too small and for me, I don't like too many rules during my play hours.
