This is a nice small bar, very packed on weekend nights. No cover. Open floor for people to hang out and dance. Few tall booth tables are available for drink and dine. The music is good here, but I didn’t see any DJ, mostly it’s a playlist. The bartenders are multi talented here. Alongside serving drinks, they also do amazing dance performances and also do clean up runs to collect empty bottles cups, and glasses.

My friends and I have visited this place a few times and genuinely enjoy the atmosphere. However, there's a recurring issue with one bartender who intentionally ignores us, even when we're standing directly in front of him. This has happened on three separate occasions, and the only explanation seems to be racism. We even had another group of POCs quietly share that they’ve experienced the same treatment from him. If management chooses not to address this, it will speak volumes about their values and priorities.

We had so much fun here. My husband doesn't even particularly like country music, but even he ended up enjoying himself. Great vibe, and the bar staff dancers were fire, very impressive, and we stuck around a lot longer than we meant to, just to see the next thigh slap and yeeha!

Great bar, staff is super friendly and it's fun watching the staff dance. Give them a try if you're in the area!

OMG! Don’t believe the negative reviews. We were visiting from DC. The bar is amazing. Bar tenders are friendly and they dance on the bar in cowboy boots. The music varies—country & R&B. The drinks were priced right and strong. It’s worth a visit just to see the coordinated dancing on the bar! Also one of the bar tenders looks like Ted Lasso. ☺️

I always make a point to visit every time I am in the city and it never disappoints. Friendly and talented staff makes a diverse and inclusive environment. Music is great, a good mix of 90’s, pop and country. Whether you’re gay, straight or something in between you are guaranteed to have a great time!

Never felt this unsafe in a bar’s bathroom! We came here for a celebration, but while in the bathroom, a security guard suddenly barged in and kicked us out for no reason, suspecting us of something unfounded. No one was puking, misbehaving or causing any trouble in the restroom. It felt like a complete power trip. When we tried to explain our side of the story to the bartender, they didn't listen and told us to leave. The negative reviews of this place are spot on. Listen to them! I've never felt so unsafe at a bar. Crazy how this security guard is still working here after all these negative reviews about him.

the staff and their friends use the accessible bathroom as their own private bathroom. i had knee surgery not to long ago and i really didnt want to walk up and down stairs so i tried to use the restroom on the main level but i needed a code. i asked the bartender and was told to go downstairs, i explained why i couldnt and he gave me the "well tough" look. meanwhile we watched as the staff and their friends went in and out of the restroom so we left. this is an ada violation
