Customer Review Summary

Cocktails draw the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling out strong Old Fashioneds and creative bartender-made drinks, one describing an eight dollar Old Fashioned as high-quality and another noting a bartender recreated a four-year-old posted cocktail without hesitation. Close behind, the food earns steady mentions, especially the pad Thai and Vietnamese pho soup, along with a homemade brownie ala mode and a chocolate raspberry mousse singled out as standouts. Reviewers also point to the beer and spirits selection and the decor, describing the space as an old barber shop turned bar with an eclectic, non-pretentious, old-school feel. Several note the staff by role rather than just service quality, calling the bartenders friendly and informative, and multiple diners say they plan to return. No recurring complaints appear across these reviews. One traveller recalls returning to the listing years later just to thank the bar for a memorable evening.

  • Bianca Aufiero
    “I love this bar, it’s my kind of place. Just walkin' through the front door and seeing Sam, India, or Scott puts a big smile on my face. The best part is that it’s not too far from my house. You can always come as you are. Hm, hm, hm, I love this bar”
  • Brittany
    “First time in the area and found this little gem and let me tell you the space is amazingly decorated. We were fortunate to come in on a night India was working and I'm glad we did. She created some of the best cocktails I've ever had. Would recommend this place again and again.”
  • Tyler Nals
    “Cool joint. I didn’t even know it existed. It’s very … um …. 1970s Vegas-ish. It could be described as an eclectic non-pretentious mountain bar. And if you want a high-quality Old Fashioned at $8, this is the place to go.”
  • Viktor M.
    “Today 8 years ago I had a memorable evening here as a traveller. Thank you for the memories!”
  • Rachel Fishbein
