My new favorite late night hangout place!! The pianist was phenomenal and the wait staff were incredibly friendly. The vibe of the whole place was upbeat and happy. Everyone would sing along to songs and dance and it felt very reminiscent of a giant family reunion amongst strangers. Highly recommend!!
If I could give zero stars I would. This bar is located downstairs and feels dark and claustrophobic. It’s extremely loud and not a place you can have a conversation. We ordered a chocolate martini and an espresso martini and both were disgusting! We literally didn’t drink them they were so gross-tasted cheap, weren’t cold, subpar all around. Service was ok, she was busy and it took awhile for us to place our orders but then she checked on us a couple times. The worst part about this place is the piano player! As singers and musicians, we were beyond underwhelmed at how he banged on the piano, his levels were way too loud for the space, his voice was shrill, and overall he did not seem to have any joy in performing. Sorry to be blunt, but the music was terrible. I’m surprised at all the positive reviews saying how good he is, my only conclusion is they either work there, have no musical ear, or are regulars who live nearby and want to be in the good graces of those pouring their drinks. My friends and I have realllly tried to like this place and have come a number of times over the years and it’s just never been a good experience. Last night the 5 of us agreed- NEVER AGAIN!!! If you value spending your hard earned money on quality cocktails and actual talent, head to Hey Nonny’s instead.

Fun place. I love their chocolate lovers martini. Their Peartini was really refreshing as well. I enjoyed the spinach and artichoke dip. It's fun to sing a long to the songs or just to go watch others sing while the piano player plays some tunes.

I had a mixed experience here. Pianist's vocals were piercingly loud and not discernable . Crab cakes were cold, tiny, and just bad. Steak sandwich was good, cooked to perfection. Staff was perfect.
So much fun!! Take a bunch of friends and have a blast! Piano player Mike Brumfield is awesome!! Request your songs,sing your heart out! Don't forget to tip well!

This place is amazing! First time here and they blew away my expectations! The staff was super friendly and they loved being there. We started on the patio for a couple drinks and martinis. So so good! Our server Reece was such an angel! She went above and beyond the whole night. Definitely check them out! 10/10

Great atmosphere. Great vibes. Piano player was top notch. The drinks were a bit off - no simple in the sazerac, not enough lime in margarita, not too bad worth complaining or sending back, but just OK. Otherwise a fun bar.

Nice Atmosphere but nothing outstanding. I stopped in for a beer and listened to some live music which was ok. I would definitely go back depending on who’s playing. Beer selection is limited to say the least.
