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!

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 made reservations that morning for an early dinner (happy hour daily from 4-6pm!). We grabbed a drink at the bar and brought it to our upstairs table overlooking the expansive whiskey library. I got the strawberry lemonade with tequila, my partner got a mule. Both drinks were truly excellent, crafted with quality and fresh ingredients/mixers. They went down very easy. I got the filet, cooked perfectly. My partner got the chicken which was so juicy and flavorful. We shared plates and loved every bite. The service was great. Lucky Day made for a fantastic start to a date night and I know for certain that we'll be back!

I love their house salad. It's a huge portion with lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, avocado, and hard boiled egg. They have several dressings to choose from, but I love their ranch, I'm not sure if it's homemade or not but it's very good. This time I opted to get their French onion soup cup to go, I was nervous about how it would come out but it was surprisingly packaged well in a nice little plastic container. Soup was absolutely delish ! All in all a great place to get some good eats. And the prices are competitive to other similar places in the area.

There were only a few other guests during our stay and things began to pickup as we were leaving. In the past, later at night, we've walked by and the place is quite packed. If you like quiet intimacy and a deal on drinks and food happy hour is your golden time here. I almost hate to share this secret tbh. Don't go. Leave this for me haha. The drinks here are all delicious and lovingly made. Really superb cocktails that taste good. The food is pretty good. It is clearly prepared well and presented artfully. I do think that calling a burger, "A quest for heaven" and not having it be super memorable and mind blowingly flavorful is a miss. It's a good burger and I'd eat it again but it's not a craveable item and I hoped with such a small menu it would be amazing. The charcuterie is super generously portioned and the nduja add on is a huge portion of nduja. Get the charcuterie. The crab toast was good and I'd get it again. We want to try baked brie next time. We also tried the pistachio mousse dessert and it was very pretty but lacked a lot of pistachio flavor. A chocolate cup full of unflavored but rich whipped cream and a minuscule amount of pistachio flavored something that was holding the cup to the plate. We were mostly just confused by the name of the dish versus the experience. It was good just not pistachio mousse. We actually wondered if someone accidentally prepared it wrong. We were here for an anniversary and were given free champagne before our meal and offered more at the end which we declined because of all the other lovely drinks we'd had. The service was great, the staff were polite and informed about the menu and drinks and the bartenders made wonderful things. Will be trying Saint Neri again soon.

We sat in the back, not at the bar, and the waitress was still attentive. Usual pub fare on the menu with some twists, bahn mi poutine being one of those. We got fries and chicken wing egg rolls. I will say that the hand cut fries were probably the crispest I've ever had. I usually find hand cut fries soggy, but these were amazing. The drink menu was also eclectic, and they'll make any drink a mocktail, which is good for the DD. Open mic was full of talented weirdos and one excellent duo, so if you're into that scene, check them out!
