"Behind the bright turquoise, but unassuming, exterior lies a moody and spacious neighborhood escape. The no-frills hangout has ample seating along with arcade games, a pool table, and a cozy bar nestled into a corner. Wander outside to take advantage of the spacious outdoor space adorned with twinkling colorful lights that liven up the atmosphere." - Brianna Griff
