The owners did a tremendous job at curating an extensive cocktail menu with modern twists to an array of tasty classics. Mother! is a go-to favorite that I revisit often with its glitter flare serve in a sophisticated coupe. If youre there with friends the Margarita and Mojito flight is perfect to share (or enjoy yourself).

The lobby is like walking into a Wes Anderson movie set or a Palm Springs Slim Aarons party. Cross through the lobby to the back staircase. Go upstairs and you'll step back in time into the Burgundy Lounge. They have plentiful seating at the bar, standalone tables, and booths. There are spaces for both large and smaller parties. Keep in mind, this venue is an intimate spot with talented regulars for karaoke every Friday night. Drinks are very strong and you can purchase from a variety of chips.

The bars host live music and events, and I believe you may be able to rent them as venues- including the pool for pool parties. Pool passes are also available for those who want to swim or go to the pool without staying at the motel. Both of the bars have similar menus for cocktails, and the bartenders can also make you anything you want. They also have a few mocktails and NA options as well as sodas/tea/etc for the kids. Megan is one of the bartenders there, and she is wonderful. I had a blueberry cocktail that was flavorful, sweet, and strong. The cocktail prices (~$12) are reasonable for quality drinks and a few dollars cheaper than downtown. The bars, pool, and motel are all retro and make you feel like you're back in the 1970s. I haven't stayed in the motel and cannot rate that, but I have been inside a room, and it had a retro feel and is very clean. It is a motel so the doors face the parking lot, but everything feels very safe and the motel room prices are reasonable too.

Have been wanting to check this place out for awhile so was excited to go with a friend last week…read more Overall, it was a great experience and I think it's one of the best dining options in park circle. The menu was a bit confusing overall - everything is family style and ordered for the table and brought out in courses. I'm usually a big fan of family style except their menu was a little hard to tell what was 1st, 2nd and main course. Since it was just 2 of us we ordered 4 items and it was plenty of food. We started with the cornbread and I will say - literally the best cornbread I've ever had in my life. Not exaggerating, I would eat a full meal of just this cornbread. Then we got the pork dumplings which were great - they did have a tiny bit of spice so be cognizant of that if you're super sensitive. Then we got the Dan Dan Noodles, they were a bit underwhelming to me - they sounded better than they actually were and for the price, it really seems to be bare minimum noodle / meat. Lastly we got the Karrage chicken which was a fried chicken bite with a lemon sauce. The chicken was very tough and over fried which made it tough to eat. The service was wonderful and the waitress was super helpful in helping us understand the menu and recommending items for us to try!
