One of, if not, the best bars I've ever been to. There's a wide variety of drinks to choose from & if you're indecisive, the staff will make it easy by getting you something according to your preferences. The bar has a very nice atmosphere, with great music playing all along. Our server Adam was very friendly & professional with us. He handled our order with care & made sure we had a pleasant experience throughout the entire time, asking us if we needed anything or not. Additionally, he provided us with a portable charger so we could keep enjoying our night. I would totally recommend this bar if you're a couple or a group of friends looking for a nice place to spend an evening with amazing drinks.
