Whether you’re here for a classic cocktail, a rare pour from the Captain’s List, or just a cold beer under the glow of the Diller Hotel sign — you’re our guest. And here, that still means something.

Christian was great! He was sweet to Grandma. The drinks were lovely! If we weren’t from out of town, we’d return because of Christian. Give Christian a bonus.

If you’re looking for the perfect spot to unwind, sip something extraordinary, and enjoy some seriously good pizza, look no further.

The whiskey selection here is incredible—from… read more smooth bourbons to rare single malts, there’s something for every taste and curiosity. And if cocktails are more your style, you’re in luck. The bartenders—Christian, Armando, Neno, and Alex—are true pros. Whether you’re ordering one of their signature drinks or something off-menu, they’ll mix up something that’ll blow you away. The creativity and attention to detail are unmatched. And then there’s the pizza—wow.
