We were sitting at the bar and we each got an espresso martini and were not bothered to order more. They had cider and IPAs there all for under $10. When I was heading out, I saw someone with their dog on the couch and they also seem to be some games you could play. The decor is very cool. They also have a TV at the end of the bar. It was playing Hulu while I was there.

The bar is a bit on the smaller side in terms of seating, but it has a TON of personality. I loved the eclectic decorations and knickknacks around the seating areas and the bar. The bartender had the TV tuned in to Jeopardy, so my inner (or extremely obvious?) nerd was beaming. In terms of the drinks themselves, I tried the cocoa orange whiskey (?) infusion on the rocks, and my BF had the chipotle paloma. We would both say they were solid, definitely not at "craft cocktail" level, but decent. This bar has a fun + dive-y feel - the kind of place where you get a beer, a plate of chicken nuggets, and watch trash tv with your neighborhood crew (I think they actually do have people who have a weekly Bachelorette viewing during the week). Definitely worth checking out if you're already in the area and looking for ~vibes.~

This place is local and super cute. The owner is someone from Richwood, who is married to an…read moreIranian woman and is really involved in the neighborhood. I love the ones that they have by the glass and the shared plates. I didn't get a chance to try the main dishes but I tried the charcuterie and tomato toast and that was delicious and the olives with chimichurri I'd seems like a lot of their wines are from Italy. I went on a Saturday night at 6 PM and it was pretty empty which is great. It got a bit crowded I believe around eight and then it emptied out again. I left at 10pm and there wasn't there was one couple left. They let you have half glasses, which is much more affordable, but easily racks up. However, I was able to try about four different wines with my half glasses so that equal to two expensive full glasses of wine. I love the place, but it's definitely on the expensive side will only be coming for a special occasion.

Loved our evening at Il Gigante! The ambiance is warm, informal, and charming, with a fun and…read morefestive vibe. Service was great - our main server, who hails from Bologna, Italy, has a good sense of humor and genuinely seems to enjoy sharing the wonderful food of her native country with guests. She was friendly and attentive throughout the evening, though she had her hands full on a busy Thursday night. As for the food: great focaccia (on the house!), followed by a fresh and abundant simple green salad, the branzino (cooked en papillote with olive oil, lemon, and salt - simple preparation let the fresh taste of the fish shine through), with a side of roasted potatoes (tender & crispy deliciousness), and topped off with hazelnut semifredo, rolled in cocoa - the perfect sweet ending! My husband had the sausage with beans, spaghetti with seafood, broccolini on the side, and affogato for dessert - raved about all. He had a Negroni - his go-to drink - which earned high praise, and we shared a crisp and refreshing bottle of Pinot Grigio. Highly recommend!!

I saw a movie in the…read morearea and my husband and I were hungry so we searched for a near by restaurant and this happened to be it. We made a quick reservation but didn't need to at all. They immediately brought bread to the table and it was yummy! Because we were the last people to leave we ended up taking home extra bread and I've been eating it with my breakfast. So this was the meal that kept giving. We got the tricolore salad, fresh and simple. We then got the branzino and lasagna bolognese. Both were cooked perfectly. I never order lasagna but this was great! Branzino was fresh and flaky. We had this with a carafe of Chianti. I love that they have all 3 options for per glass, carafe and bottle! All of this wasn't too expensive either! Highly recommend if you're in this beautiful area.

Fluffy, thin, and crispy. The pizza was great but did not have enough mozzarella sadly. There a couple slices that barely had any cheese and was mostly just tomato sauce. It would've been amazing with a little more cheese. We also got the butter beans as a small plate but those were sooo disappointing. It felt like they had just opened a can of beans and put some salt and pepper on top?? Please do not get these. Especially for $15. Beans are the reason the rating is a 3 not a 4.

If they do, go early! They'll sell out. Still delish though. They're playing The Smiths and Air, they have a pool table and cool people crowded around it, it's like the definition of a cool bar. But it's not pretentious, and they have sweet little frog details everywhere you look, frosted on the wine glasses, on shelves, in the window. They have an identity, but also the classic features of a bustling bar where you don't exactly have enough room to hang your coat and bag without invading your neighbor's space, but it's fine. It's cozy and you're having a good time. I glimpsed a lovely back patio and apparently they have live music sometimes next door at the Tadpole, so I'll be back soon.

I'm glad I got to see the bar striped down, and before I came in for a themed night. I got to see it in its full form. It's gothic charm is mysterious and inviting. I wanted to stay there all night, but I was only there for two drinks. The first one was the "Fancy Tin Cookie" and it tasted like dessert. There was literally a cookie in this whiskey based cocktail. My next beverage was a creation by the bartender which was a pineapple rum cocktail. This was exactly what I was looking for. Something light, refreshing, but not too sweet. This was a lovely experience, and I look forward to coming back for sure.
