    Great ambiance, with an upstairs that also leads to an open-air patio overlooking Bell Park. Bottom floor is definitely on the darker side in terms of lighting with ample bar seats available. As for food they work with a variety of Food Trucks who contract with this bar, but there will only be 1 truck on a given night. Drink prices are what you'd expect from this area, I'm not sure if there are drink specials. Another thing of note is they are about a block or two away from another chill Bar/Restaurant 'Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse' which runs along Montrose if you want a late & to keep the party going.

    Came here after Christmas because we all need a break from the holiday. Met up with some old friends and did happy hour. I had not one but TWO of the outdoor couch, which was dangerously good. Got a little hungry so we ordered food from umbrella fellas. I had the hotdog with the Houston toppings. The cheese fries weren't bad but need more cheese. Service was alright, the bar was packed so it took a while to get drinks ordered. Parking was a bit difficult, read the signs and make sure you don't block any residence or business driveway/parking lots. If you come here on a Wednesday night, there's a little show upstairs at 9pm.

    If you love bourbon, you're in for a treat. This hidden gem of a bar has an amazing selection of rare and premium bottles that you can sample before you run to a store to hunt for a bottle to buy. I was blown away by the quality and variety of their offerings. I had a pour of the Brookers Whisky, and it was smooth and delicious. The staff here are super friendly and knowledgeable. Megan was my bartender, and she gave me some tips on what to try next and what events they have coming up. They have a regular DJ and a cool vibe. You can also snap some photos with their awesome dark and moody decor. The only catch is that there is no sign, so you have to use your GPS to find the place. But trust me, it's worth it. Parking: Is on the street, so come early or be prepared to walk a bit.
