    This place has a vibe and I'm here for it. It's cozy and there's a coffin hanging from the ceiling!! The menu design is super cool, I tried the spaghett drink which was really good, it's a miller highlife with aperol and a lemon. We went during Christmas and it was decorated so well. I want to go back again and again and get a Photo Booth. It was busy on a Friday night but we got a booth and drinks no problem.

    I came here on a gloomy Sunday afternoon. I was trying to fit the vibe as I was not in a good mood. Sad panda. However, after coming here though that helped put me in a better mood. I had two cocktails while I was here. I got the brave Marion, manzanita, and also some tater tots. Both of the drinks were very flavorful and well-made. The tater tots were a huge basket for eight dollars. Definitely enough to share. However, when you die alone, it doesn't matter and you can have as many as you want. That's a bonus of the single life. I did like that I could pick my sauces which I got a vegan sriracha sauce for dipping. The tater tots are gluten-free, but there is cross-contamination in do to the fryer for those who also are gluten-free. The bartender was friendly and also helpful. There is plenty of street parking however I could see it being a little bit more busier in peak summertime

    Alcoholic Slushies

    We came in for the Summer of slushies. There were 2 choices of summer slushies available. Alcohol or no alcohol. We sat at the bar and it was very dim lighted establishment. The slushies was good. I had the non alcoholic one. Frozen slushies on a summer days are definitely good. They have a photo booth too at the corner of the establishment. Service was attentive. A nice big restaurant/bar. Enough seating for everyone. They had booths and tables available for your choosing. Street parking only. It's in an area where there are other restaurants nearby.

    Cute vibes for a more divey type bar. There's a casket suspended from the ceiling with a disco in it. It was right up our alley. There were movies playing on a tv and projector in the space. The drinks were decent in taste and in price. Would go again, but not itching for a need to go back.

    Angel wings
    Michelle R.

    Found this place on yelp, first coming in I loved the vibe but that quickly went away. The bartenders name we ordered food and drinks through was Sunshine, which he severely lacked LOL. Maybe because the bar name is sad? Anyway We sat at the bar top but had to get in line to order drinks because he did not come by and check on us. He's also looking at a "cheat sheet" for specialty drinks so maybe he is new? Doesn't matter. We got cry baby shots, not bad! Then tecate's, my friend got the Mexican squirt with tequila, it was exactly that it was. Angel wings I ordered, the dipping by sauce was so Light it literally tasted like nothing, the wings were not spicy, too much cumin and skin rubbery. My friend got the BLAT add fried chicken, his fries came out cold, the service was so slow we decided to not say anything and just air fry it at home later. Sad that this place wasn't the vibe, I'll stick to tulip tavern across the street.

    Birds of Pray Sandwich
    Alex W.

    Came here for sandwich week, where they offered the Birds of Pray. This thing was packed with a mashed potato gravy and fried chicken, a unique combo that worked really well. I believe it may also be on the regular menu but not sure. They also have a pretty solid happy hour that I would like to check out. Atmosphere is on the darker side inside

    Bacon sandwich

    I've been here a few times and I'm excited to see the menu has expanded! Food is yummy, I'm a big jalapeño poppers fan so was psyched to see them added to the menu. Drinks are fun and priced just about the same as everywhere else, weird Paloma is a fav. Service is quick, decor is cute, no complaints! Match boxes are a nice touch, I love how cute the design is!

    love the food and vibes. great staff and awesome movies. The bartender let my partner pick the movie and she fell in love with this spot

    Party Casket on the ceiling
    Jeannie D.

    It's an open space that is clean and the decor is unique. I really liked it, well put together. The bartender was attentive and kind. The menu was small, like very small. Here's where I got impressed tho - I ordered a sandwich asked for no bun. The cook himself came out to ask me if he could alter my food in another way. I agreed, and was so glad I did. He personally brought the food out and explained a little further what he did. Hats off to you buddy, you made my experience. I feel like there is so much impersonal about how we receive our food nowadays. Appreciate this level of service. Good mocktails, na beer options, fun decor, just give it a visit!!

    Five dishes for 2 of us was more than enough +2 dessert +2 drinks…read more The wasabi salad was good. Perfect dressing for my husband too much dressing for me. I really like the scallops. Not a fan of the jalapeño grits because the heat built up and I would like to have some bread to help cut the heat. Our absolute favorite was udon dish. Another dish where I wish I had bread too scoop up all the sauce. The Tonkasu sandwiches were way better than the place at Bridgeport. The beef check melted in our mouth - another dish. I wish I had rice with. Moral of the story, need carbs to make the meal better Beautiful ambience. Amazing service. We dropped the chopstick and they got us a new one before we asked. Was surprised they didn't give us new plates unless asked because mine was covered in all the different sauces and I didn't wanna mix the wasabi dressing with other dishes.

    Food: 4/5 Service 3/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 This is a very cute spot for a nice girls dinner or date night. I brought my kid and it was ok but probably won't recommend it. I liked everything off the raw menu besides the mushroom handroll because the salt level was at about 300%. My fave was probably the yellowtail crudo. The raw stuff came out fairly quickly then we waited a very long time for the cooked entrees to come out. There was at least a 20 minute hiatus, which I did not appreciate. The server checked on us a couple times during the wait but it's just kind of awkward when the wait is that long. I was really looking forward to the duck duck rice because pictures on Yelp made it look like a crispy rice, if it was in fact, not. The udon was our absolute favorite. The snapper was also delicious but it came very late. The alcatra was just ok, I actually couldn't take much of the tomato flavor in it.

It's on the sweet side, but I needed something sweet as a buffer since some of the dishes we ordered were a bit too salty. -Thai-Style Ceviche, 11/10. No friggin' notes. I highly recommend. Portion is a bit small, because I could have eaten MORE. -Sweet & Sour Fried Chicken was decent. We ordered the Small and it was about 5-6 boneless pieces. Very unique. I recommend to try if you like fried chicken. -Wok-Fried Yu Choy was wayyyy tooooo salty. Hubs & I wanted some greens and it was fried with generous amounts of garlic, but it just got saltier and saltier as we ate it. -White Curry w/ Brisket Burnt Ends, this dish was a little bit of a mixed bag. The white curry (roasted cauliflower + coconut cream) was delicious, but did it pair well with the Brisket Burnt Ends? Not really IMO. I don't think the flavors match. I'm not exactly sure what would pair well with the white curry, maybe some veg or tofu...but BBQ fusion with the curry wasn't the best. 2 unisex restrooms available, the one I used was clean. Service was a little scattered. We got the Yu-Choy first, followed by the ceviche a few minutes later. But the Fried Chicken and White Curry took a while to come (about another 10-15 mins. to come). We were lucky to find some street parking in the neighborhood nearby.
