My favorite place. Such a fam vibe but also with great food and drinks. I told them that I like flats, naked they ordered the specific kind of wing for me. Truly go above and beyond. Always experimenting with drinks to make this place so unique. Perfect mix of a sports bar with Brooklyn vibes, neighborhood feel and everything a cocktail bar or restaurant has to offer. Can not recommend enough! - Savannah Bas
