    Mango mule not the best
    Lorena G.

    I'm a creature of habit, I like what I like and tend to stick to those places. Hubs asked if I could bend my rules and try out a new place. I hesitated but agreed for please his adventurous spirit. We headed to the Nugget for an early afternoon cocktail. Perhaps this place is good for cold beer, perhaps this place gets better at night, perhaps it just wasn't for me. Overall clean place, cute (a few good neon signs, decor) but man do the cocktails suck. I mean, maybe during the college years, not for me not now. It was what it was, I was fine, it's all fine, everything was fine.

    I had not been here since they made changes. It was a cool vibe, music was great, and the service at the bar was great. The decor is very cool and the whole place is understated with an edgy flare.

    The service and vibe/decor is a solid 9/10 but the drink i was served was WEAK. I came here already a little flush but i was hoping for a better drink especially since i asked to be surprised (. Still, this is certainly a spot/place to be. They got the hookup on Banh Mi too from Banhdicted!

    Super cool bar I didn't even know existed! They have a great drink selection that has something for everyone. They have live music and great staff. The pool tables are nice but get there early as they only have two and can get crowded pretty quickly. I love the trendy yet comfortable layout of this bar. Whoever designed it, did great! My only complaint would be the lack of food available but they do provide some small snacks and are totally OK with food being delivered to the establishment. A food truck partnership or a kitchen with a small menu would be a great addition. Overall, a great bar with a dive bar feel.

    Great photo opp!

    Zero stars if I could! Not LGBTQ friendly at all. There was no one else in the bar on a week day night so security was on a power trip.

The crowd is mixed: lots of older folks, but a nice mix of tattooed and hipster friends. The staff is friendly and helpful and damn.... The food is surprisingly delish! Do not sleep on the grilled cheese sammie - thick Texas toast and a cheese pull worthy of critical acclaim! We've also tried the fish & chips (with house-made hush puppies) and the chicken lettuce wraps - all were really good!

Everything is made differently with less flavor and finesse. The lettuce wraps used to be standout now they're dry and under seasoned. It's also presented differently which made for an awkward dining experience. I remember being blown away by the katsu chicken sandwhich the first time. This time it was gross. It was not fried like katsu but more so like a battered chicken breast. It always was not pounded flat into a uniform piece of meat but was more so a badly butchered breast that fell apart when you ate it. It was dry, under seasoned, fried way too hard and was stringy. I'd come for drinks and completely pass on the food all together. Not worth the high price tag associated with it. Karaoke DJ was stellar!!!!! Kept the party going and was so fun!!!!!

It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar. Out of several places I've been to, I'd say the mixture of flavors and details in the drinks are quite unique. I'll be back for more one day

    The decor, overall vibe, and drink menu are really fun, but the bartender we had kind of killed the…read moreexperience. We'd heard good things about this place and have been trying to support local downtown bars this summer, so we stopped in around 11 on a Friday night before heading home. As we sat down, we watched the bartender be pretty dismissive toward another group at the bar, so we were already a little unsure. We started talking about the decor because we liked the eclectic vibe. We jokingly pointed out that one of the pictures had a joint instead of a cigarette because someone in our group hadn't noticed. One of the bartender's first comments back, completely seriously, was, "I'm from San Diego. Have you never seen art before?" Honestly... what? It was such a weird, unnecessarily condescending response. I brushed it off at first as awkward banter, but it was a really strange first impression. The drinks were decent. The Loverlist was really good, and the Unicorn Fluff and Old Fashioned were fine. The bartender was quick to talk up their whiskey selection, but when we asked for a recommendation, she mostly gave reasons why she couldn't recommend anything and just kept saying they had "over 90 different options." Without a whiskey menu to look through, that wasn't especially helpful. We also asked for a shooter and were offered half of a cocktail instead. That would've been totally fine on its own, but combined with everything else, the service just never felt welcoming. We ended up leaving pretty quickly. I'd give the place another shot because the atmosphere is fun and has a lot of potential, but hopefully with a different bartender behind the bar.
