    First of all, they have the best bar tenders around! If you want to chill out and play pool weekdays are the best but if you're looking to dance, the dj and band kills it Friday and Saturday! They also make the best drinks! Everyone is really friendly. The food truck serves some bomb food, and the patio is perfect if you want to have a bonfire or just go out in smoke and chill!

    Literally had no idea this hidden bar was located in Stockton. Visited on a Saturday night around…read more7pm and left around 1:30am. There is a parking lot at the back of the restaurant which is where this bar is located. It's a close-knit bar, but it does get a decent amount of people inside! The drinks are delicious. I highly recommend Jalapeño Business (mezcal or tequila, cucumber, jalapeño, agave, fresh squeezed lime). SO refreshing with a chamoy tajin rim. I also enjoyed The Nightcap (vodka, bailey's, cold brew, coffee liqueur). The bartender was very friendly and made the drinks quickly! You can also order food (since it's connected to a restaurant), and we ordered gyoza and shrimp tempura which came out piping hot and were both delicious. Definitely stop by if you're looking for a chill bar to get a drink, it is a small space so just be aware your conversations can easily be heard by others. Not a problem if you're friendly though!

    Every time I think that I've reviewed this place I find out there one isn't there. I'm not sure…read morewhat's going on with this one but here goes. Very disappointing experience when we came for a friend's birthday. Looking at the pics this place appears to be a very cute speakeasy and when you enter you find that to be true. They have a few cocktails that are pretty creative like my favorite, their clarified fruity pebbles cocktail. We all got cocktails and only about 1/2 of the drinks were really appreciated. Anyway, what held them back here was definitely the food. I'll start off by saying that yes we had a light dinner of sushi prior to making our way over. So keeping that in mind, we still had the idea of getting some small bites. We didn't want to over commit so we started with what I believe was the Grilled Peach Burrata. Now if we are going purely off flavors, it wasn't bad and it was a cute pairing of ingredients for what sounded like a great bite. On first bite we found this to be a horrendous dish. At first we thought, there's no way the bread was really THAT stale and hard. We thought there's no way that it could be every single piece that was that inedible. We were sorely mistaken. When I tell you that little crostini was hard and stale I'm telling you this thing was so terribly stale that we immediately thought of how disappointed we were in coming here and that we would NEVER consider coming back again. As for the service we remember it being a tad underwhelming as well but not terrible. The only thing that in my mind keeps me from rating them a 1, and I don't do that almost ever, is that my cocktail was just my style. I'm an old fashioned kind of guy but I also love the cute, creative and sweet cocktails as well. This fruity pebbles cocktail also came topped with sort of a Rice Krispie style fruity pebbles treat that I absolutely loved. After ordering a 2nd one however I found that they are not very consistent with their drink preparations as the 2nd one just wasn't as good. The ratio of whatever they put in there just seemed off. I'll finish off by saying that I so desperately wanted this place to be good. Was it an off night? Is this just their level of execution? Who is to say. Maybe one day I'll feel inclined to give them another chance but who knows. I have also heard that they did a lot of revamping so maybe things are looking up now.

Well, we definitely stood out, but we felt welcomed and comfortable. Sunday morning football and some drinks; we found out crowd. LOL I needed to charge my car, and they were located right across the street so it was out of luck and connivence that we found this spot. There are multiple TV's that line the bar top and seating area - they basically had every game on and even changed the channels for the games we wanted. The bartender was very attentive! She was the only one on the clock and worked the entire bar stop and our table of 5. We got beers, and some food.

Unfortunately, that doesn't make up for the very subpar food. The lunch menu is limited and mediocre our group had a tough time picking because there just weren't many appealing options. We started with appetizers: chicken wings and onion rings. The wings were EXTREMELY salty, and the onion rings were Burger King-level at best edible, but nothing to brag about. For my meal, I ordered the chicken Philly with mayo. No one likes a dry sandwich, but that's exactly what I got. The chicken was overcooked, making the sandwich almost inedible. The fries were even worse undercooked, unseasoned, and half-frozen in the middle. Adding salt after the fact didn't help. Overall, 8/10 would NOT recommend for the food.
