Unfortunately, this experience went from disappointing to downright concerning…read more I do want to distinguish between the two bartenders working. The younger bartender was nice, pleasant, and welcoming. The older gentleman behind the bar, however, was a completely different experience. He came across as rude and was essentially barking orders at guests about how he would take our orders. For a place positioning itself as an upscale cocktail experience, that attitude set the wrong tone immediately. Unfortunately, the drinks didn't make up for it. My espresso martini was mediocre at best. My friend had the lemon drop, which was equally lackluster. Then came the $30 smoked Old Fashioned, which should have been impressive at that price point but was incredibly disappointing. We were also told they infuse their own vanilla into the vodka. Whatever they're using or doing with it, the end result tasted incredibly cheap --not remotely what I'd expect from a premium cocktail program. Then there's the condition of the place itself. There was a wrapped pipe dripping water onto/near a lounge bench, chipped and peeling paint on the walls, and obvious signs that preventive maintenance is desperately needed. The space simply wasn't aesthetically pleasing or maintained at the level the prices and concept would suggest. But it actually got worse when I went to the bathroom. Part of the ceiling appeared to be falling down, water was actively dripping into a bucket, and there was visible dark growth on the ceiling tile that looked like mold. At that point, my concern went well beyond décor. If you're going for an upscale speakeasy experience take a look at The Doctor's Office. That's the kind of atmosphere, presentation, and attention to detail I associate with this concept. When you're charging $30 for a cocktail, expectations are naturally going to be high. I expect excellent drinks, professional hospitality, and a well-maintained environment. Aside from the younger bartender, who was genuinely pleasant, this experience missed the mark across the board.

I went to Craftails Speakeasy and tried the Strawberry Fields from their spring craft tail menu…read more Honestly, it was strong, super pretty, and had this little dried orange thing plus a bubble that added smoke to the drink, felt fancy without feeling "my wallet is crying." Service was awesome too. We got there right when they opened so it was just me and my mom at first and the guy at the bar made it easy and fun. The vibe feels a bit on the fancier side, but it's still chill, a perfect spot for date night or just taking cute photos. No hidden entrance or secret password that we could see and street parking is available. No wait during the day. It's not the cheapest spot, but honestly worth it for the drinks and the aesthetic. I'd love to go back and try more of their craft tails sometime!

Stumbled upon this gem via Yelp and we were very pleased I did. My husband and I went out for a…read morelate dinner Tuesday so it wasn't very busy. We sat at a high top in the bar area which was very inviting with a lot of classic wooden bar vibes. We had an engaging and attentive server and the bartender served up a great mojito for me. We ordered the lobster escargot appetizer which was really good. This is one of our favorite apps that are "go tos" at 2 of our favorite places. This one is going on that list as well. My husband had the brick house side salad- what's not to like? Great song, great side salad with good mix of ingredients. I had shepherds pie for my entree and hubby had the seafood gumbo. The shepherds pie was so tasty, not saucy at all, yet very umami forward. Just yum! I can't speak to the gumbo only to say that my husband liked it and said that it was made with very high quality ingredients and was also very tasty. We will definitely be back. There are several things we'd like to try next time... Overall very pleased we tried O'Bricks.

Went for a family dinner and had a great time…read more Nice bar/restaurant, great for families, groups, and happy hour. Great menu for both dinner and smaller bites - perfect for any occasion. I had the grouper with mashed potatoes and green beans and it was amazing! The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly, very firm.. flavorful.. and flaky. Their wine selection was VERY good... a wide variety to select from: California, Argentina, France, Germany, Italy - I was very impressed. Staff were all very nice and welcoming which also helped with the experience. Parking is a little tricky.. we did street parking - I am not sure if there are parking garages/lots nearby.. but we went with metered street parking. Would I go back? Yes, for sure!

The PIZZA as usual was beyond outstanding When I got home I called the Manager to let her know how awesome her staff were in handling the situation and keeping it special for us (we are both retired on pensions so we don't got out that often) Not only did she thank me - she told me there would be TWO free pizzas for us the next time we came in and was so sweet and kind What could have become a bad situation was made better and better and we can't wait to go back I loved this restaurant for the food and the amazing view and it really is a treat to go there - now they have my complete loyalty!!

Service was super friendly and quick, Rico at the bar, hope I spelled that right, hooked us up right away. It probably helped by the fact that it was daytime so not at all crowded. Dive bar vibes for sure, but it's bigger than I would expect for a dive. Tons of games like pool, darts, pinball, and even a beer pong machine for two players, never seen that before, but surprisingly fun. Machines were about a dollar a game, so nothing crazy. Street parking was free for a couple hours where I was and there's indoor and outdoor seating. Women's bathroom had some hilarious messages and divorce dad music playing constantly. I liked it, my mom, not so much. I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area and want a to just chill and drink.
