Bartender was amazing, really glad the doorman at our hotel suggested this place! Would love to go back
Greta vibe. Guinness in a car. Good price. $5. I like the layout of the bar. Has an European sitting arrangement. Sit back and watch. It’s comfortable too. Outside seating as well. I’d come again.
