Very cool speakeasy vibes, delish cocktails with creative ingredients made in-house . The service was great too. We went on a Tuesday when all house creation cocktails are 10 dollars

$1 oysters & $5 beer pints during happy hour are definitely worth visiting. Their house sauce goes perfectly with the oysters.

Classy bar with live jazz but time your evening well. There is a two floor stairway entry into a speakeasy style jazz venue. $1 oyster nights seemed like a fantastic deal with subpar oysters. The server last minute informed us of the requirement of a drink with the order which was not mentioned at all upon entry despite inquiry into price & last call of the specials. The AC was dripping on some seats & the lights on the table did not seem to work well. While maybe a uniquely bad experience, overall a cute venue with good ambiance (despite missing the music) if not for the miscommunication over the pricing.
