There were a handful of people which made it crowd pretty quickly . My only complaint was the temp...it was sweltering in there! I've been to plenty of speakeasys that have no problems with temp so hopefully this one can figure it out. Altogether a great time!

What a fun little bar. A true hidden gem if you don't look for it…read more The only food you can get is upstairs, which is the pizza, but I'm not sure if you can bring it downstairs or not? The ladies behind the bar were incredible nice and help my wife to pick out a drink. Since I don't drink, I got a coke. We'll definitely be back. Her drink was the Best Day.

Today I tried Peach Melba at the server's suggestion and it was lovely. Not sweet, but tasty. A crafting group was meeting there because it was the 2nd Sunday of the month. They were just as sweet as they could be, working on their individual projects, sipping tasty cider. This year, West End was added to the Bobcat Brew Trail, a must do for alums.

The bartenders have become my husband and I's friends and we love being regulars in this cute, historical, friendly bar. The ambiance is amazing and the whole vibe is artsy and cool. This is a community safe-space and I love it for that. The beer garden out back is cute for summer days. The front patio is perfect for people-watching. The cider is delicious and this is more of as non-college bar, which this almost 40-something appreciates. This is truly the best bar I've ever been to!

I wasn't as surprised this time by the location in a neighborhood, something that gives it a very welcome feel and suggests with the addition of a covered outdoor porch with picnic tables that this is a good neighborhood hang. I was late for lunch, almost two but there were some folks still finishing up. Good vibe, good music and casual atmosphere. I opted for the Takoyaki app which was tasty and not so burning hot that it scorched the roof of your mouth. Also the right amount of mayonnaise as opposed to often an excess. The Ramen Flight was fun in principle but I wouldn't do it again. I unwisely and perhaps naively assumed there would be mini versions of the full serving of Tonkotsu broth with Mayo, Thai curry and Szechuan with scallions. But it really is just the broth and ramen. Expected the Szechuan to have some heat and peppery lip buzz but did not. The Thai curry was super salty. Just missed some option of veggies and protein. Finally I would suggest not sitting near the front near the stairs to the kitchen. The spot has competing music soundtracks with two different play lists battling between your two ears.

In fact if you are not a member, the front entrance door is a secret hidden door. Only members know where and how to open the door. A nominal monthly membership fee paid each month. Gets you inside this very cool bar. You have a few floors here and each floor has a private area you and your guests can enjoy cocktails. Big easy comfortable chairs , what a cool idea. The main floor has the bar and also easy spaces to sit. Once you become a member you can bring 2 people with you. Explore the private spaces on the other floors. Interesting displays and art work throughout the areas. The staff is great, top shelf service from the moment you meet the door man to the bartenders. If you order a bourbon flight, be sure to ask for the flight book. Every time you order a flight , you get a stamp in your book. The bar will keep your book on file there for you. The cocktails are signature drinks. Which only can be obtained here and no other place. Great place if you live in the area. Memberships are inexpensive and you get a great place to bring your friends, clients, whoever. You will certainly impress and delight those you bring here. We had a great time, I am looking forward the next time I am visiting relatives in the area. I may darken their doors again.
