  Atmosphere was very inviting and the place looks really cool. The entire space is kinda smaller compared to other locations in third ward (but that is not a knock against them). The performances by bands are a great feel. Seating is limited at times. Reason for the 4 stars, is I was not personally blown away by the drinks. I was hoping for more of a great signature drink - I had an Old Fashioned. Nothing to exciting. Fiance had a $5 Marg special - also said it was nothing special or great. Would recommend going here and it is an enjoyable time.

  This actually a pretty cool place. 1920s gogo dancers, live music, decent drinks and not too crowded. To get in you've gotta go through the "front", (next to the he old-school deli). You only start to hear the music about half way down the hall. Very Capone like.

  Had read about the place online so when I saw Gabriel Sanchez was doing an acoustic set, it felt like time to visit. Enter from the back alley, it gives you the sense of sneaking into a secret clubhouse ( like the safehouse). The front is a "front" Deli that unfortunately was closed, but still smelled enticing. It's a small place and with about 60 people was what an adult calls packed. 2 reserved tables went unused while we were there. What an annoying privilege wasted. See Gabriel when ever you have a chance, great artist.

  I've been here a few times and always enjoyed it. The decor is slick and it's a fun atmosphere. Most of the drinks are reasonably priced but they don't have enough servers when it gets busy and, if your at a table, you end up waiting. Some of the bands I've heard there have been pretty good but their sound system leaves a lot to be desired. My wife and I were in there last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary and I ordered a pour of Johnny Walker Blue @ $48. Pricey, but we were celebrating. When it finally came, 20+ minutes later, I doubt it was even a full shot. I know what I've paid for a bottle of Blue and basically after they sell 3 shots it's paid for. To be that cheap when someone is spending that much money was really annoying.
