I'm trying to figure out why more people aint come out. This is a great spot of your solo , on a date , or with a group. But this place is really really sexy. It's nice atmosphere the drinks are amazing, it's basically Miami meets Bham. The staff is really cool! Like you feel like your with friends. You can make your own vibe here. Rap/hip hop, house music or other if it's lit they lit. My first time with DJ justice ⚖️ and it's a vibe. I'll probably be a regular from now on. And the food. I love that it's a food truck it's so good y'all. *Edit it literally picked up minutes after I posted this with like 30+ people, so I might have just been early.

We went here on a whim after going to a friend’s wedding shower at Pepper place and we were so glad that we decided to stay out! This bar is super cute and has a great vibe. The drink menu routinely rotates to be themed around a different part of the world. When we went, the theme was “Arabian Nights” and the drinks we had were amazing. We were tempted to get something to eat from their food truck, but after just having eaten at the shower we decided against it. We WILL be back to try drinks from the next menu and to try their food! Don’t skip out on this trendy and gay-friendly new bar!

This place needs blinds over the windows or they need to be tinted. Too much sunlight on the side opposite the bar. Didn't try the food from the food truck but heard it's pretty good for bar food. No Bud Light, but plenty of hipster beers and local beers. Not sure if I'll go back.

We went around 5 on a Friday afternoon and we're well ahead of the crowd. We ordered food from their truck outside then went in to order a couple of drinks. I got a Thunderball and it was very well made. Not overly sweet and good balance of flavors. The Asian inspired food was really good too. We got a chicken sandwich and spicy cold noodles. We both loved the sandwich & fries but the noodles were too spicy for her, and probably for lots of people. The flavor was good and I'm sure he could tone it down if requested. The chef was alone and performing heroically, probably busier than expected at that time. The interior of the place is modern '80s with lots of neon-ish leds around. Nice, if a little bright. It does not look like a dry cleaner any more. We'll definitely go back.

Really fun 80's vibe with chill music selection and retro TV playing behind the bar. The cocktail selection is massive with a no and low proof section as well, and for those that don't find something they like on the menu, there are knowledgeable folks behind the bar. The seasonal menu series they do where they curate flavors from certain regions of the world is amazingly creative, concocting spectacular new flavor combinations for their cocktails. Highly recommended for the seasoned cocktail enthusiast and definitely recommended for the casual drinker as well. Cheers

I'm just obsessed. I've been to many places and they don't MAKE your drinks. They splash stuff together . The Bartenders here is a slight understatement. Erik always creates a taste experience for me with my cocktails. Attention to details and just respect and proper prep for these drinks. They be on they zoom! I love the drinks here, I love the vibes, the DJ and the food. I'm definitely going to be a regular 13/10 recommended.
