This was such a fun place, parking is a little hard but they provide permits if you ask. Had the seltzer it was very good. Then grabbed some churros from the food truck. Overall fun vibes.

Pleasant experience..... decent crowd, decor was OK, service was more than tolerable, food was more than edible. Good early stop on a date, or late stop around or after midnight for a nightcap.
