If I came later in the evening I would have thought I stepped into a modern vintage lounge! The outdoor seating was few however the interior is so spacious, sitting outdoors wouldn't do your full experience well here. What I ordered was new for my tastebuds! The menu is what drew me to this spot. At the time I was there, their food menu was yet out. I plan on making more visits because absolutely loved this entire vibe!

You can truly taste the creativity and quality in every sip. My favorite was the Raspberry Rose Margarita--made with fresh raspberries they puree in-house!

As we stepped into the cocktail bar, we were greeted by friendly employee, who turned out to be the manager. Very cool and great conversationalist. He made a few valentine cocktail suggestions and we ended up with the sex appeal and cupids arrow. Both were delicious, and the shot was more the size of a drink, but still amazing. Loved the vibe, NOLA kind of decor... Those chandeliers were awesome! Already looking forward to going back!!

If you're looking for something without a big crowd, this seems like a good option. Although I don't know why there isn't a bigger crowd here! This place has a fun drink menu, average pricing for cocktails, comfortable seating, and a cool vibe. I had the French 75. Classic and delicious. They play good music and staff was kind.

It's a very intimate bar, galley style. The cocktails are great, they have all the basics and usually a smaller menu of fun options. My friend and I ordered a drink and sat down at one of the tables to take in the show!! They do the burlesque show on the last Friday of every month! It was so fun and the crowd made it feel like a safe space. I'm going to try to bring my mom and some of her friends for the next one! It's a great bar with comfortable seating, and on this night it wasn't so loud that my older, hearing impaired friends wouldn't enjoy it. Burlesque aside, this is a great bar for an intimate drink. It's relatively dark in here so much more of a romantic vibe.

The schtick here is that the bartenders will "surprise you" with a cocktail. You tell them your liquor of choice, fruity/floral, sweet/not, etc. and they craft something unique for you. It's cool. The service here is always super friendly. The bathrooms are clean. They have board games and card games out that you can play with friends. It's grown up fun.

They have multiple seating options; the first floor has booths that can accommodate smaller and large groups. The bar area is very inviting and fun to be able to watch your drinks being made and upstairs offers a more private area. When not seated at the bar they do have someone to come around to make sure you have what you need. The servers are very nice and tend to remember you, which is a great feeling. The menu rotates seasonally, which makes it easier to try new things. My favorite menu item so far has been the cheeseball that was on the menu around Christmas time. It had a great flavor served with crackers the only thing is when we came back after the first of the year it wasn't on the menu anymore. On my most recent visit I had the queso which also had great flavor, served with blue corn tortilla chips. When it comes to the drinks I like how on the menu they let you know how strong it is using toucans. Many of the drinks feature rum, but they do still offer some gin and tequila options. Everything I've had has been good and something I would try again. I would like to note that many of the drinks are fruity and can be somewhat sweet. At Christmas time they even had holiday themed drinkware which I felt was a nice touch. If you are not a drinker, they also have options for mocktails. Which has been great for me the last couple of months. I didn't care for the Phony Negroni, but I think Negroni itself might be an acquired taste

Outfitted with a massive bar, a bowling game, several large green TVs, and sprawling, comfortable couches, it is a premier venue to take in multiple games, especially when SEC football is roaring on a Saturday. The kitchen punches well above its weight class here. We ordered the Philly cheesesteak, and having actually traveled to Philadelphia and sampled the local staples there, I have to hand it to them: this version was better, hands down. A stellar spot for family entertainment and game-day dining alike.

It's a pretty neat hangout spot with a bar and food service, virtual baseball and football, bowling, darts, and several other games. Our work event had lunch catered, including green beans, mac and cheese, sliders, chicken tenders, rosemary potatoes, cookies, brownies, and doughnut holes. Overall, the food was pretty good. The mac and cheese was a little bland and could have used more seasoning, but the chicken tenders were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Honestly, if I wasn't there for work, I probably would have gorged myself on those chicken tenders . And the brownie? Spectacular. Thick, moist, and super fudgy, definitely the highlight for me! Service was great also-they came around routinely checking in to see if we needed any drinks, cleaned up plates, etc. Not necessarily somewhere I'd go specifically for myself, but I can absolutely see the appeal for groups, work events, or anyone looking for a fun place to hang out, eat, drink, and play some games.
