Order the skirt steak. Best item on the menu and a fair price for a hotel bar!

Better than your average hotel bar. Turkey Burger offered a healthy option, and the service was quick and friendly.

Love when mistakes turn into fortunate mistakes. Meant to go to the bar downstairs but somehow my…read moremuscle memory from years ago brought me upstairs to this bar i visited a couple years ago. Love how friendly the bartender is. Tried the cukes on the 7 light and refreshing and passion fruit margarita. I love bringing with passion fruit. Interior is very cozy and definitely a perfect location to grab a drink.

Service was honestly disappointing. My boyfriend and I came in about an hour and a half after…read moreopening, and at first the atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming. We were having a great time until a couple of women came in who seemed to know the male bartender. I went to use the bathroom, and within less than two minutes someone started knocking impatiently. I immediately said it was occupied, but a few minutes later she began banging on the door while I was still inside. I understand waiting for a bathroom can be frustrating, but there was another bathroom downstairs, and the way she handled it felt extremely rude and disrespectful. She continued waiting right outside the door until I came out, which made the whole interaction uncomfortable. Regardless of whether she knew the bartender or not, guests should be treated with the same respect and the space should feel welcoming for everyone. Even my boyfriend felt uncomfortable with how the situation was handled. Unfortunately, because of this experience, we wouldn't come back. Hopefully the staff can work on creating a more inclusive and comfortable environment for all customers :(

This place deserves 10 STARS!!! I'm very big on hookah and…read morethis place has me coming back over and over!! (Every Weekend, to be exact LOL) The vibes are super chill with good music. The prices are very reasonable. The staff is very attentive. The decor is extremely unique and sets the tone. What more can you ask for? Small tip, don't forget to bring CASH, it's a cash only spot! (But they do have an ATM if you do happen to forget to listen to my review lol) Most importantly you don't have to keep flagging down the employees to ask to exchange the coal for your hookah. (And they don't charge for coal refills). God, I can't tell you how much of a difference that makes in your hookah experience!! They always make their rounds to every table to exchange coals before you can even notice that you need it. Make sure to order your hookah with an "ICE PACK"!! It makes all the difference!! That cool fresh hookah is not harsh on your throat and you can go on smoking it for a long period of time. The pull is much smoother too, just trust me on this one, you will thank me later ;) You won't regret coming to experience this hookah spot even if you have to go out of your way to get there. It's worth it!

Great spot to watch the games on TV and smoke hookah, if you like that sort of thing…read more I did not eat or drink anything, but the vibes were there. It feel like I was inside someone's big jeep. People here are friend and they listen to you.

We have been going there for years and it has always delivered a good time. The vibe is fun, the music is generally solid, and there is a dance floor to make use of if you are in the mood. Fair warning though -- the speakers are close and the floor can get crowded, so be mindful of where you position yourself or you will be hearing ringing for days afterward. I have actually started considering bringing earplugs on future visits to protect my hearing. It is that kind of loud. As for drinks, I cannot speak to those since I do not drink alcohol. What I can tell you is that the water was perfectly hydrating. The DJ does the usual DJ things -- occasionally cuts a song too early or drops something you are not feeling -- but overall the music selection works and keeps the energy up. I would not come here for a quiet meal. The environment is not built for that. But as a place to gather with friends, celebrate something, and have a genuinely good time, it is a solid local gem.

Second time here! Had not been here since they first opened up and it def has not changed. I love…read morethat it's part bar and part coffee shop, the switch is pretty cool. I came in during the morning time, to catch up on some work. There are outlets available, just few but it does work when needed. A lot of seats! The bar seats were available during the day as well, it is a huge space with lots of plants around. It does get very busy here with people catching up both on computers and with other people! I did not try the food so I can't rate that, but I did try the iced Osmanthus Sweet Fermented Latte which was an interesting combination. I tried it with 70% sugar, oat milk and less ice. It did had some rice inside it so the texture def was different every sip, it was well balanced. I'm glad I chose 70% sugar cause if it was full, it would be overpowering. I'd def come here again!
