The Reuben was fantastic but I especially liked the Hawkins, a local spinoff of a Western Sandwich. Soup was a potato, cabbage, & chicken last night and I would have ordered more had I not been so full. The sandwiches are huge. The people were so friendly and the prices were more than reasonable. Would suggest that you don't want to be in a rush as service is on the slower side. Have their own large parking lot right across the street. Very pleasant experience.

The front of the house lady was pretty busy, wearing all the hats: host, bartender, server. And she did a great job running from the patio, to the tables inside. The food was delicious! We had the smoked cheese crab dip that was served with pita. There was not a drop left in our dish. We got a couple apps and then for our entrees, we got the stuffed salmon, filet and fish sandwich. Everything was great! The prices are very reasonable on the menu for both the drinks and the food.

First of all you just feel welcome when you walk in the door. There is lots of bar sitting, along with some booths and even a couch. We usually grab some seats at the bar. There are frequently events going on and a wide range as well. Some events are ticketed, sometimes there is a cover and sometimes no charge. The artwork is great and all the fun photographs and sayings. Every time I'm there I spot something new. There is even a gumball machine with poetry in it. How cool. Most often we have gone for live music. This time we were in the area and just wanted to grab a drink. They did have a DJ though which was fun. It was also a great choice because they stay open late when so many local places close early. They do have a limited food menu but I have never eaten there. They have a variety of drinks ranging from non alcoholic to beer or wine, even cider. The cocktail menu is where it's at though. There are so many choices and some unique combinations. It's been fun trying so many. I think my favorite drink on the menu is Galeophobia which comes in a fun shark glass. It's fruity without being too sweet and the macadamia liquor adds just the right amount of nuttiness in the background. I seriously could drink several of them. The Spork House Punch is another favorite. Immediately *pinkies up* with the fancy little crystal mug. The pear and lemon gives such great flavor and it's well balanced and an easy drinker. It also feels like a good value with the amount you get. This time my fiancé tried Elvis' death and loved the toilet mug. He said it was tasty but a bit expensive for what it was so he probably wouldn't order it again. Fun bartenders, great drinks, good atmosphere, enjoyable entertainment.. what's not to love?

Israeli Salad---5 stars Whipped Feta---5 stars Pierogies Peppers---my favorite of all we had Cauliflower Stake-5 Stars--so yummy! Old World Falafel--I didn't like falafel until I had this tonight. The Pizza was so good, the crust light a fluffy, had 4 slices. This will not be the last time we go here. My wife said this will definitely be her birthday restaurant.

They have coffee, tea, mocktails, and it's BYOB and we brought along some beers. The inside has a pretty big bar area, seating on a comfy couch, and some other chairs. There is also an outdoor patio in the back. The inside is moody without being too dark and has vibes reminiscent of a jazz bar. We talked with one of the owners, Max, and we chatted about all the work it took to revamp a space that had been vacant for years. Max was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about hookah and wants to turn his space in a community third space with lots of events. The staff was really nice and their grand opening is this weekend with live jazz. Wishing them success!!

The draw is tastier and a lot smoother. In case you're afraid of germs or are sick, they give you disposable mouth pieces for the hookah. The occasional person will be in there with a laptop and a hookah for one. Sometimes a group will be there with some drinks. It's a very casual, laid back vibe. The owner will play all sorts of tunes/ music videos on the flat screen tv up on the screen. It ranges from Bollywood type tunes, to 80s, to recent rock and top 40 pop charts. It's a bop. :) The place is mildly expensive. Around $20 for one round of hookah? There is also a fee of a few dollars if you bring your own beer/ alcohol.

The space itself is the only downside - it's small and the seating is not very comfortable or conducive to relaxation.

The staff was very friendly and attentive- I didn't catch the girl's name but she was very knowledgeable about hookah and had some good tips for us. The flavor was great- we had to try the house-made "Pussy Juice" flavor, which was a combination of different fruits and had a really nice citrus-y bite. My boyfriend wanted to buy some to smoke in his hookah at home but they don't sell it except for on-site use.
