Nice atmosphere. Place is always busy no matter the day or time. Sad to edit, but the bartender staff has changed. They used to be friendly to regulars and locals but now there’s a bunch of new staff in their that doesn’t understand the neighborhood so well. Seems to be going the way of Federales as they get bigger. Also, they never switch up their frozen drinks. It’s February and theyre still featuring their Xmas Mexican eggnog drink. Way past time to update the menu guys.
Tbh this is a good bar with really good drinks and the bar staff are always great. However, the bouncer is so unpleasant and rude every time I’m there that I don’t go very often. Specifically, he always hassles me about my ID, even though no one else in the city ever has. Every time I give him my ID he throws it back at me and just says ‘I need ID this isn’t ID’. I of course explain to him that it is indeed government issues photo ID. Which it is. I think his issue is that it’s Canadian? I explain this to him but he doesn’t let me get two words in before shouting ‘I NEED ID THIS ISNT ID’ and telling me to leave. Twice he’s actually allowed me in and both times he’s so condescending about it I almost want to leave. I would be here a lot more often if you got a different bouncer.
Top bar. Inventive drinks with a good atmosphere.
