Second stop of my Arts District Alcohol Debauch.
The atmosphere of this place rocks. Open for a little over two weeks as of the date of this review, an intriguing mash-up, being an open-air hole in the wall, but larger inside than it appeared, with a DJ booth, bespoke graffiti, a pole-dancing Barbie, a Mad Hatter-style table and chairs sourced from the gutted Mirage plopped on the lawn, bartop embedded with paraphernalia commemorating practically every rave known to man, music loud enough to be felt but kept at a level which preserved the eardrums. Clearly the entire space was carefully designed to promote the vibe while remaining organically fun. Manager Vincent spent time circulating among and chatting with the patrons, and Liv of the bar was equally friendly and very cool.
Rapper's Delight ($15 on the menu, $16.64 on the tab): Presented in a dimpled tin cup, OK volume, very good refreshing tartness.
Lemon Pepper Dry Rub Chicken Wings ($9 for half-dozen, per menu, $9.36 per receipt): Excellent full-flavored kick, decent amount of meat on the bones, sauced enough to crave wet wipes.
Value: Judgment in abeyance until I learn what caused the slight price differences from menu to receipt. Wasn't tax as that was a separate line item.
Service: Most inviting.

Bag hooks for the bar reportedly inbound.
Interesting happy hour specials Monday through Friday.
Setting the rating at five stars for now.
