Asked my zip code because she didn't think my id was real, which I understand. When she didn't hear me the first time I got louder when I stated my zip code. Which she then gave me a nasty look and gave my id back. Then the person I was with had a chip in his id and she stated it was invalid and then tried to keep the id. Which would have been understandable had she not treated us as if we were being dishonest. Should I also add we've been going to Stella's every day since Monday and never had an issue. I'll be back im just mad right now

From the outside it is so bland and you are truly unsure if you are walking into an abandoned building or a crappy towny bar. Once you enter, it may take your eyes a moment to adjust if you are coming in from a bright sunny day. Foundation Bar has super low lighting, very moody. There is ample seating and a few different seating options; bar stools, booths, high top tables. Seat yourself. To order drinks you walk up to the bar. There is not table service. The decorations here are great! There are some really incredible pieces and collections! Some I would love to have if I could find them. This is a very laid back atmosphere, very chill not loud or overbearing so relax and enjoy the ambiance. I believe my drink was called El Diablo and was very good. My boyfriend chose a Zombie which is always strong! He preferred my drink!

Most recently, we went to the bar and asked for a glass of water and were told we had to wait until our drinks came. Which took quite a while (there were 6 of us, but we were there early on a Tuesday evening and waited probably 20 minutes for drinks. And water). Definitely recommend going but bring your own water bottle and expect a bit of a wait.

Just after 8pm on a Friday night we got parking right at the front door which I thought was rock star lucky until we went in, completely empty except for the bar tender which I thought was weird. We sat down and ordered a couple drinks while talking and a big heavy set guy walks in and behind the bar to talk to the bar tender and finally sat down across from us. While having drinks and talking the douchebag had a disturbing laser stare on us non stop and after repeated looking at him, he continued non stop staring at us so we had to leave. I don't know what his problem was but making strangers feel uncomfortable was very natural to him and he was a pro at it. I'm going to spend some time in the area so I was looking regular place to go to but this will not be that place and we will not return again.

They have local beers and my personal favorite cocktails are the Little Prince and the Dirty Sprite. It's perfect for your first drink or to end the night at (especially with an apple pie shot or two). I really cannot recommend it enough! The best part about Finks, though, is the staff. They always recognize us and make sure we feel super welcome, which is much appreciated! That kind of hospitality makes us always want to go back

Drinks are affordable. The bartender was a lovely older woman with kind eyes and a big German Shepherd colleague. The outside space is adorable, although be warned, the lattice cover over the patio screams and creaks like it has been possessed. Even though this feels like a hidden gem, the bar drew constant visitors even early on a Saturday evening. One challenge - parking in the area is extremely limited.

But finally a friend brought me in for a drink. Very cozy bar so I usually sit out among the wild collection of dark wood tables and chairs. There is so much antique, curious, and fascinating furniture, signs, vintage decor to observe and just immerse yourself in the surprise discovery of this collection in a pub! There is usually one bartender working, but they are always friendly, quick to take your order, and friendly. This place is an adventure of a bar in the best possible way!

Here you'll find plenty of brews on tap, wines, and a solid line up of canned drinks/seltzers. Most notable though, their house cocktails. I opted for the cocorita and was definitely a fan! If you like coconut flavor and margs, then you're in for a treat with this one. So refreshing and even comes with shaved coconut on the side of the glass. If tequila isn't your thing, they've got ya covered with all the other concoctions -- from a sunshine martini to a Gillian's island rum mixer. And even if you prefer NA, there's drinks cleverly called "placebo effects" for ya! Love the sprawling bar, with plenty of seats, that's right in front of the big open doors letting the fresh air in. Friendly faces behind the bar too. Look forward to returning!

Sunday winter evenings seem to be a slower time at the Crossroads Collective, so we were able to easily get a seat right at the bar.

The service was completely lovely and the prices are pretty reasonable. Get to it!
