Customer Review Summary
Cocktails are the draw reviewers raise most, served with spectacle: drinks described as bubbling and smoking hot, a dead red zombie, and one hen party guest who got to put their own bubble on a cocktail. Food comes close behind and surprises people given the bar's drinks reputation. Reviewers name beef tacos, truffle fries, a veggie breakfast, bacon pancakes with maple syrup, and chicken in a basket with bang bang salad. Servers and bar staff are called friendly, lovely and not pushy, recommending drinks and dishes. The recurring complaint is music volume. One reviewer suggests the venue for loud, lively drinks but not for a meal with conversation. Another found it a little loud once the DJ started during Paint & Sip, and a third wished it were quieter, though one diner said they could hear themselves speak. The sharpest account came from a dinner booking where everyone was eating and the music felt louder than most nightclubs, so the group left before ordering a second round.
