If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out — mostly because of Neno. Hands down the best bartender there. He’s fast, fun, always on point with the drinks, and honestly? Way too cute for his own good. Pretty sure half the reason people keep coming back is just… read more

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.

The best bourbon bar I’ve ever been in in my life. Armando is a bourbon connoisseur. He taught us so much and directed us right to where we needed to be for our bourbon preferences. He is a true credit to this company.
