Room for Improvement

"Loved the concept. Modern dive bar. Good quality cocktails without the usual stuffiness, and most were only around $13-$14. I usually avoid bars around the Old Port area, but this one seemed different. On a Saturday night, the crowd looked like locals who knew exactly what they were getting. We walked in at 8 PM to a completely packed house. Handful of booths, bar stools, and some standing tables in the back. We got insanely lucky and swooped into some bar seats the second a group closed out. The ladies next to us mentioned that Esquire magazine named their Espresso Martini one of the best in the country. Had to try it. They used local Allen’s Coffee Brandy, which gave it a heavier, sweeter, and much more robust punch than a standard vodka-Kahlua build. But it was still the best out of all the martinis we ordered. The food menu was mostly just dive bar snacks. Cheese balls and hot dogs. They intentionally don’t put much effort into it, and everything was really cheap. Definitely recommend checking this place out. Just be prepared to elbow into a standing table if you roll in during the weekend rush."

"Super cool concept. Fancy cocktail bar pretending to be your local dive bar and nailing it. They try to be goofy but deep down they are super serious about their work. Espresso Martini was done with a fun twist. The banana, salted coconut foam gave the drink a tropical dessert vibe. The DTO is supposed to be a snack sized daiquiri but it’s not to be messed with. Tasted like a light Sprite, way too easy."

"Don’t skip this place if you want a phenomenal cocktail in an awesome dive bar setting. Espresso martini and manhattan were fire. They have some fun hot dog options too for grub. Happy hour deals are great too! Must try if you’re into cocktails."
