I had a great time this past Sunday. It was a good crowd with a nice vibe. The bartender Necie was amazing. She held the bar down, with her great bubbly personality and kept a smile on her face even when she got busy. She kept the jokes coming. Lol I always appreciate a bartender who is in tune with their customers. The drinks were great and so was the music. I will definitely be back. Hope she is there.

This spot has become a staple for me. The food is consistent and the bar never fails. Niecey always takes care of me when I pop by the bar and when I have energy - the basement is always a good vibe

Outstanding service from bartender Necie! Even on a busy Sunday, with her managing the bar solo, she never missed a beat. She was attentive, kind, and kept everything running smoothly. Plus, the oxtail was served promptly. Highly impressed!

The only bar I’m frequently at in the city! I’m only coming from Maryland if Niecy is Bartending!! Hand’s down THE best female bartender in the city! The days I go, the bar is pretty packed and crowded, and she still is always attentive and takes care of all of her customers. She tries her best to get to everybody in a timely manner and the drinks never lack! As long as she’s there, they will get my coin!!!

They have really great frozen pink lemonade margaritas. they really hit the spot. I was gone off about three of them joints. The jerk wings and The Best Burger are also great. Very nice, diverse progressive crowd as well. I highly recommend

Met up with some friends for a birthday. The bartender was super friendly and extremely helpful. There were two DJs, one at the bar and another at the lounge downstairs. Both were pretty good but different vibes.
