    Fun dive bar in Soma! It's a great place to be loud with your friends and hangout. They have a pool table, private clean bathrooms and plenty of seating. They don't make super fancy cocktails, just the basics like vodka cranberry or ginger ale & Jameson. The food was great. It was fun and creative versus other bars. Pricing wasn't expensive. Would come back with friends! Service was friendly and they allowed dogs in.

    Stopped by for pre-dinner drinks but then decided to stay longer after finding out they serve food :) we shared the box burger (with no tomato) and got the mac & cheese egg rolls. I agree with another review about them being a bit bland but I think that's better than being overly salty. The marinara sauce helped a bit but I still thought the egg rolls were good on their own. The burger was so juicy (ordered medium rare) & delicious. Loved the touch of arugula vs the usual lettuce leaf. Bartender was really attentive & helpful. She introduced my sister & I to a different tequila brand which I really liked & will remember for future outings. Overall, everyone was friendly & vibes were chill.

    the bar was so cool. bartenders were super friendly and helpful! the bar itself doesn't serve food, but there is a window 5 feet away (outside) that serves a great menu of late night snacks until midnight. i was seated at the bar, had my party save my spot, went outside and ordered and they gave me a buzzer for my food. we opted to take it home, but many walked back in and ate inside! super fun ambiance and experience
