We only had drinks here before our reservation at Cabezon and then after dinner, because we loved The Lift Off so much we had to return! Emily, the owner and bartender makes this place what it is! And that is a friendly, high spirited environment, where people talk to each other and music is flowing from the iconic juke box. The drinks are fabulous and the decor is so fun! Makes you happy just walking into this place. We can’t wait to return. Wish it was closer to us.

This place is delightful! I've been in twice and both visits were wonderful. The staff are super nice, the cocktails are extremely good, and the food is amazing. We had a tofu "chicken" sandwich and a veggie corn dog; both were so tasty I wished I was hungry enough to order more. The prices for them were also very acceptable. My only note would be that it fills to standing room sometimes in the evenings so I recommend coming in earlier if you want to be able to get a table or a space at the bar.

This place is cute as hell. Dimly lit, perfect cosmo 50s aesthetic, and a chicken sandwich that’ll give any place in town a run.

How fun is this place! Delicious drinks, friendly service, comfy seating all in a place that’s a trip to the 70s while being contemporary queer! I’m so in love with this spot. Go on a date or a group of friends, you’ll have a fantastic time. Food is yummy as are the drinks.

The atmosphere here is awesome! Great vibes, creative decor, moody and very laid back. They have a free juke box! They have awesome boozy milkshakes and food with pretty decent prices. I would recommend checking this place and trying their cocktails and milkshakes!

I've been dying to go here forever, and finally made it. Delicious food, amazing drinks. The bartender is fantastic and fun. The chicken sandwich was HUGE, spicy and delicious. I am dismayed that I couldn't eat it all. I also loved the details of the decor, like the space rocket trash can in the bathroom!

Great food, great drinks, great aesthetic but wow it’s loud even in the early hours of opening. Ouch. I’d love it if it were more chill at 5p. The music is great, just really loud.

The decor is so fun, a mix of retro space age with just a hint of a 20s nod in some the moon and stars art. It has all the appeal of a retro dinner but it's a more interesting and different take. It's on the smaller side but there's a lot of tables and booth seating which is so comfortable. They had a good number of vegan option on the menu. We got some corn dogs and curly fries and nothing was bad but it was unpleasantly greasy and the dogs were a little over. The theme and how well it's pulled off is really cool and the bartenders were very nice and accommodating. Good palate cleanser if you're burnt out of dive bars and breweries.
