i don't go out to bars so much anymore but this is a definite hang out spot when-ever i feel like going out. the bartenders here are AWESOME, i cannot even underline that enough. they are personable and super, super sweet. IE- on my birthday two years ago the bartender put on one of my favorite albums and proceeded to buy me and my date three rounds of premium vodka! it was definitely an unforgettable experience in terms of bartenders, it's hard to find ones that fun and generous! the atmosphere here is great too- no pretension what so ever, crowd varies from night to night but is generally low-key and relaxed. sometimes you will get people singing along to the songs and then the whole bar starts in and it's just a giant party. it's a small space with a lot of kitsch, velvet and atmospheric lighting. you get an intimate feeling and when it's crowded on the weekends you're still able to get great service, fast drinks and make a friend or two. the patio is simple and i've never had a problem finding a spot to sit. the overall vibe here is very relaxed. definitely a hidden gem, i'd bring ANYONE here, including my mom! cheers!
