    I find this to be a neat concept for a bar... Spooky and based on the bar in the book Frankenstein;…read moreseveral variations of the book (as well as others) decorate the bar. The bar is quite small, but they have a decent amount of seating... 6 or so seats at the actual bar then two small tables by the front window and a loungey area with a sofa, some comfy chairs and a few other small tables. The have a full bar with themed specialty drinks as well as hot loose leaf tea and small plates for a little snacky snack. The service was friendly, but quite slow... Especially since the bar was not particularly busy when we ordered. My friend got one of the specialty drinks, Bee Sting, made with Meade & draft cider, I got a hot tea and we split a fruit plate & nut plate. The water given with my tea was not hot enough to steep the bag; the bartender thanked me for letting him know and returned quickly with a fresh, hot, Halloween-themed cup. The fruit & nut plates had a good selection including banana chips, dried apricot, mango, cranberries, almonds, pistachios and cashews. They were the perfect amount for snacking while having a drink & gabbing. The bathroom was very cooly decorated with a skeleton on the ceiling enrobed in spider webs and a crow that cawed at me when I opened the door. I wish I would have taken a pic! Would I rush back, probably not; but, I would go back again if I happened to be in the area. It's definitely a place to check out at least once!

    The first thing you notice is the fitting music and then you walk in, amazing decor, the smell of…read moreincense, books, and couches. It does tend to be a bit cramped when there's an event but weekdays are super laid back with a few customers at the bar. I love the themed menu that not only offers DELICIOUS cocktails, but also cider, mead, beer, etc, wine, non-alcoholic, and even cannabis drinks so there's something for everyone. I especially love that there's some snacks but they also allow outside food (and there's pizza next door!). It's become my new favorite and I'll be going back at least once a week for the next couple months.

    I've only been here twice and not long each time. It was just a stop for one beer type thing and…read morethen go to the bar that you're planning on staying at for the night. It was nice and big in there. I like the way that there was room to move. It's not real small like most bars I end up going to. The bartender was OK, it was very, very crowded, so they were low on seats. Like I said, I wasn't there very long. I didn't spend a lot of time there so I don't really know much about the place. I didn't even so much just use the restroom there so I don't know about those. I don't know if they have food or not. I just like the fact that it's spacious.

    We went to Sterling for the first time, and I had been looking forward to it for a while--and it…read moreabsolutely lived up to the hype. The food was so good. We ordered the NYC chopped cheese and the Caesar sandwich, and both were packed with great flavor. The rolls were awesome, and the French fries and onion rings were the perfect finishing touch. The staff was very friendly and always nearby (which came in handy when we needed extra napkins, lol). The dining room is on the smaller side, so I can see there being a bit of a wait during the dinner rush. Parking is street parking on a busy strip, but trust me--it's all well worth it.
