They only show up here once a month and spread ridiculous rumors about the owner and staff so why wouldn't you ban them? Good riddance! When you go to a bar you should behave like an adult.

I'm glad to return to this bar in the future especially knowing that the children who wrote the recent reviews are banned. Otherwise a small and homey bar not to mention CLEAN. Cleanest bar in New Rochelle during CoViD. The Spanish barman Oswald and his assistant Michelle make a great duo!! The owner is a good guy too!

If you can't decide try both, and thank me later. The wings were also pretty good but nothing completely out of the ordinary. They are fried and sauced very well. So, I'm still on the path of looking for grilled wings that are seasoned well. The highlight of the experience besides the beautiful decor was the skinny margarita. Because I was initially hesitant to order it. Although, Bethany is cool...I don't like her Skinny Margarita Brand AT ALL. Sooooooo....I had to ask the waiter how it was made and I learned it's a regular margarita with less sugar. 10/10 :-)

Very disappointing experience…read more The service was extremely slow from start to finish. Our server forgot the beer I ordered, and we had a reservation at 8:15 PM, yet one hour later we were still sitting with nothing on the table, waiting for our meal.

However, things all of a sudden halted for me the 2nd the bartender told my date they had to order something despite me ordering a $15 cocktail. My immediate thought was to say, "Okay, we'll be on our way then." I didn't like that my date was pressured into ordering something. THEN she hits us with "cash only." Ugh. The cocktails. She was majorly pushing these concoctions she'd made up and said every single cocktail was $15, so we might as well go with the boozier one (as opposed to what we wanted which was something simple like gin & tonic), so we relented. They were OK. Would never order again, though. Other than the desperation and pushiness of the bartender, the ambiance was great! Fun clientele and gothy decor. If she had just eased up, I would honestly have this place be my go-to bar in town as opposed to never wanting to go again. Shame.

I uploaded a picture of the tables which include booths which I like as well because if you have a big group this is a great space to accommodate. The last time I came here it was cash only and I happen to have cash on me last week when we came, so I'm not sure if it is 100% still cash only but I am almost positive there is an ATM. The only negative that I really have to say about this spot is that there is really not a lot of parking, there is a very small lot that can fit about three cars right to the side of the bar,, we were able to pull up right in front because we came on a Wednesday night but if you come here on a weekend you may need to park a block away. Overall I've always had a great time here, the bartenders have always been super nice and they carry angry orchard which is my favorite beer. I will definitely be back again soon.

Every bartender I have ever encountered there has always been funny and charming and you can tell they love working there. They have a little parking lot which is nice and plenty of space inside to move around and find someplace comfortable. Super cool all around.

Flavors to be on the lookout for with this refreshing beer are crispness, sweet (it's a very subtle sweet, not sugary) and citrus.

So, this one was a real doozy of a visit. The drinks were fair, with our order being a Goose Island…read moreIPA, Long Island iced tea, and a pomegranate martini. The service and food, on the other hand, were quite a mixed bag. We ordered a margherita pizza, pancake tacos, steak and eggs, and French toast with a side of sausage--the pizza, at least, was good. However, the "French toast" was more like an anemic panini press trying to pass as French toast. The steak and eggs comprised of a fairly well-cooked (that is, it was the right temperature) yet underseasoned steak of a relatively dubious cut, underseasoned home fries, and eggs done wrong (sunny side instead of over easy). The lattermost was the start of the problem, as I was willing to give it a shot, but found the texture off-putting. In light of this, I brought the problem to our server Adalia, who brought it to her manager Elvia. Thankfully I had someone else with me to tell me what happened: Elvia came over without addressing me on their error, silently took a look at my plate and instructed Adalia to have the kitchen put the eggs back on the fire. She takes my plate to extract the eggs, and brings them back (unsurprisingly) completely overdone, first in Elvia's hands, then in Adalia's for her to serve; we send for a refire, and they come back correct 7 minutes or so after I've already finished eating. Considering the hassle it took to get them, I couldn't trust it enough to eat, leading them to waste as well. After all was said and done, the GM Amer comes over to see how things were, and was thankfully helpful and understanding of our situation. Here's the rub: I was initially willing to overlook the steak, the home fries, and even the eggs if the error was properly ameliorated. Adalia and Amer both did very well, and I'm grateful for them for that; Elvia, on the other hand, managed to break the chain of competent customer service by directing the server to handle the problem in a way that was set up for failure (if you mess up an egg, it's an immediate refire because of how the egg cooks in the first place -- Amer also arrested to that policy) all without addressing us and taking accountability, due to negligence or whatever else. Not only that, but when sending the incorrect eggs over the second time, she couldn't even bring it to us herself--it would have been easy, seeing as she was the one that originally had them--and left Adalia and her tip to potentially take the fire if the patrons happen to be angry. Mistakes are fine--everyone makes them--but I'd describe this as cowardly more than anything else, and I take issue with that in particular from a leadership standpoint. While Amer graciously extended an invitation for a better experience next time, I can't say I'll be taking him up on the offer when their service and food are this misaligned; unfortunately, a disappointment overall.
