The staff were top-notch, remembered your name by the end. When you're ready to pay your tab, the band Apollo Suns was just fantastic! Great acoustics in there, friendly people, great vibes. Will definitely be back--hopefully by next year! If I catch the ski slopes, it'll be a perfect place to stop in. Great pricing too! We also tried their food, the bao buns, and the fries were exactly how I prefer my bar food--delicious!

Nice inviting, cozy, romantic atmosphere. Service was good awful. Nelson has wonderful Bohemian vibes, and among small cities they've got some of the most balanced chakras around. Still, the good vibes seem to inflate the heads of young wait staff, who seem to this old miser a bit aloof in attitude and needing a dose of hustle. You can be friendly and move fast at the same time people. We waited 10 minutes for a greet, 5 for water, another 15 for our order, then a full 25 for the actual food. Whoof. Soured this old miser's good vibes I can tell you that! Still, kitchen staff saved the day and the food was on the bleeding point of on point.

Working in the area and saw some good reviews and thought I'd write a review first hand…read more My buddy and I arrived as were met by a pleasant waitress. We ordered drinks and the waitress pressed us to order our appetizers and meal. We ordered our apps and she came back ten minutes later to tell me they were all out of potstickers. I ordered chicken wings. They came out tough to eat and very dry looking. I told the waitress that they were old and dry. She took them back and a few minutes later she came back with the same chicken wings, hotter and covered in sauce( the same wings I suspect). I also ordered chicken avocado wrap, said I wanted it spicy, they soaked it with Franks red hot. Inedible. My buddy ordered beef dip. The beef was so tough and the fries so greasy, he couldn't finish. Not good.

The tacos on the specialty menu AKA chalkboard Zesty Brisky and El Cluckador were fire!! They are small so you have to order 3-4 per person. The Papas Bravas (potatoes) on the appetizer menu were so perfectly done and taste delicious. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and flavorful so yummy with a good sauce. I was not a fan of the hot cheese dip- I don't recommend that one at all. No flavor just hot cheese. (Others in my group liked it) From the Owner "Tacos Make you Sexy"!

You can tell lots of thought and passion went into making these unique cocktails (Caesar deluxe, mood ring, thyme warp, and Cookie Monster). The house made vodka, which was just finished yesterday, was smooth and not overbearing. The hot artichoke and spinach dip served with pieces of baguette were well flavoured and delicious. Sounds like the owners have a great vision for the future of this establishment and we can't wait to go back and support this local business again.

I was visiting from Vancouver and came here with a friend on a Thursday night to have some beers;…read morewe wanted to have some drinks somewhere where we could still socialize but not at a bar or pub. The place was pretty busy at the time we got there but not full.... The server greeted us pretty quickly and offered appetizers and the special they had. We ordered a couple of appetizers and some pitchers of beer and didn't have to wait long for it. The servers were friendly too and would check up on us incase we wanted anything else :) One good thing is that they tell you when last call is unlike other places... The ambiance is quite relaxed and they play music but its not blaring so you can actually talk to the person you are with which is great. The decor was fine and had some nice touches but it still needs to be improved as parts are a bit dated; it was probably a mix between an older outdated style with some modern touches thrown in... They need to ditch the tacky banquet chairs at some tables.... All in all the place definitely has potential to be something the area doesn't have currently. The only thing I didn't like is that last call is pretty early and they close at 10 so we had to go to another bar after lol. It's a good place to come with friends to have a drink in a relaxed atmosphere without the feeling of being in a bar and it's the only place in Trail with that type of establishment which i am accustomed to in Vancouver...
