Amazing place for music, good drinks and located in the heart of downtown. It needs to be your first stop.
Leah Jurges
Great live music and awesome prices on their tequila. Jason was exceptional introducing me to their selection with a positive vibe, and he explained their $2 off on Tuesday. I definitely recommend, and probably a great place to take a date!

I love this little place. I stumbled onto to this place a couple years ago & I go here often. The staff is always welcoming, the owner is phenomenal. They always have some awesome music/band playing there, great little place for bourbon and wine, but they have other drinks as well. Little dance area to groove to the music. Great place to hang with friends, meet new people or have a date night. This is my fav little bar in dtsp!!
