Needs way better music and another bathroom and to connect the back to the front or have the back have its own dj.

I dont come to this spot often but its always a good time. At times they have live music but mostly DJ's. The bar has great drinks and they have a lounge area if you dont want to be in front near the DJ. Just get their a little early it does get full or reserve your table so you have seating available to you if that is your thing.

Alright place, no cocktails and seating was very limited. For Halloween weekend, this place was pretty dead.

Great music and Great vibe. We had a lot of fun! Not a wide variety of drinks but still really good!

My favorite place to go enjoy a drink. From what I hear they will be serving food soon. I'm excited for that.

Limited seating is available. The bar was missing a lot of liquor and the drinks on the menu were there just for show. Drinks started of good and turned out to be watered down as the night went on. Good environment and music but the bar needs work.

Really nice bar. The drinks are wine based which turned me off from coming here. Friends wanted go, so I went. The drinks were so delicious and the atmosphere was delightful. Will be back soon

Usually gets really packed and if you love Hip Hop and Reggaeton, this is the place to be. This is a pretty small place, so when it's crowded, there's not much room to dance. They don't sell liquor and there's only two bathrooms, so there's usually a line that builds up that takes forever! They also close at 12am midnight.

Perfect spot for a cold beer or glass of wine, live music, and a comfy lounge area in the back for sports Sunday. The perfect location with other breweries and eateries in walking distance

The ambience is great! The music and DJ’s are are so fun to dance to! The only thing I can say I don’t like is that it gets too crowded. You can’t even dance comfortably! And they need to remove those tables and make space for dancing.

No hard liquor here, music has variety, they have a small venue, can get really crowded, hot and steamy inside. Vibe can be a little tense. Conversation here is near impossible. Clubish.

Service is bad.bartenders always making bad drinks.music is ok but it does get crowded since it’s a small space.
