A hidden gem! There isn't a sign with the name. Inside is amazing. It's huge. It looks like a hogwarts style bar. With games. Bocce was awesome but a long wait. Fish tacos were on point. 😋
hidden gem for classy people. Reminds me of the Ace Hotel NYC.
This place is awesome!! Huge space with great games like foosball, pool, mini shuffle-board and full scale bocce ball. Fantastic place to go with friends or even a date.
Hidden gem where you must be in the know to get in. Great cocktails with cool infusions. -Mike Isabella, Top Chef
