Sure recipe for a great time !

by nctr22

This place is pretty fun. It has a lot of character to it which I like. The bartenders are just great and so is the music! There is an amazing outdoor terrace perfect for warmer days or when you just don’t feel like leaving your drink when you need to take a drag. The upstairs lounge is very is full of couches and is very comfy, just right for a more intimate gathering.

  • Pros: Everything!
  • Cons: None

An metonym for lame Union Square bars

by WilsonAgain

Tacky staff, sloppy bartenders. The kind of place where frat guys go to slum, or think that they are. The upstairs could be nice, but it's all open and not a lot of places to sit. The music seems to be be a bartender's ipod, so get ready for a lot of I-just-graduated-from-college tunes. Skip this place!
