Our server was incredibly personable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Unfortunately, the experience took a turn at the end of our visit. The manager came over to help clear plates from the table and ended up spilling au jus all over my shoes, including a pair of limited-edition shoes that I take great pride in. He returned with a towel and club soda and essentially told me to clean them when I got home. After that, he never returned to check on the situation or offer any additional assistance. To her credit, our server was apologetic and went out of her way to make things right by removing several items from our bill. She handled the situation with the professionalism and customer service I would expect. As someone who has worked in the service industry, I understand that accidents happen. What matters most is how you respond when they do. I cannot imagine having someone represent my business who handles a situation like this so poorly. The server and food deserve five stars, but the manager's lack of accountability and follow-through significantly impacted our experience.

If you're looking for a laid-back place to grab a drink, watch the game, and enjoy good bar food, this is it. We came for the wings, and they were cooked perfectly. While most of the sauces are classic flavors you can find at other wing spots, the Honey Cajun really stood out and was our favorite. Definitely give that one a try. The bartender was awesome--friendly, quick with service, and had the relaxed personality that makes you feel welcome. The atmosphere is casual, unpretentious, and exactly what you'd expect from a local dive bar. We'll definitely be back. One tip: if you're planning to watch a game, check their game-day hours since they may differ from their regular schedule.

The food was good, the cocktails were well made, and we left looking forward to coming back. Unfortunately, our second visit didn't live up to that first impression. The food was still decent, but the cocktails were disappointing and lacked the quality we experienced before. The dining room was also quite noisy, making it difficult to have a relaxed conversation. One issue that was consistent on both visits was the service. While the staff was friendly, our wait service wasn't very attentive either time, and we often found ourselves waiting longer than expected for drinks and other needs, including getting our bill. I chased down the waitstaff on each visit just to pay. Based on our two experiences, Liquid Assets has shown it can be very good, but the inconsistency makes it hard to recommend wholeheartedly. We probably won't be in a hurry to return, though we hope they can provide a more consistent experience in the future.

This is that shady-looking place on 13th Street you probably walk by every week but may not notice…read more If you haven't yet, I recommend you give it a shot. It's tucked into this alleyway, and then you have to go into this inconspicuous red door, so it's got kinda like a 1930s speakeasy feel to it. The inside's really nice. Spacious but intimate at the same time. There's the bar, scattered tables and some booths. Most of the furnishings are black, and the light's kept low to set the mood. Which I guess is true of most bars, but it works especially well here. Their alcohol selection is decently vast, with everything from your generic cheap beers to Gray Goose vodka. They also carried my all-time favorite "beer," Woodchuck Amber Hard Cider, so props to them. I know, I know, it's not really beer, but haters gonna hate (it's 5% abv anyway). Anyway, their mixed drinks are a little on the pricier side, but they're great. I had the British Bulldog, which was on point. I wish I could remember what all was in it, but whatever it was, the end result was delicious. Don't worry, you won't get mugged walking the few feet into the alley, so go ahead and check them out.
