So much potential! This bar opened in September 2016 so it is totally reasonable that they would still be figuring things out, and I want to love this bar and hangout here all the time, so here are my notes in the spirit of that hope.
We walked by and got excited, and came back to check it out. First impressions, really nice looking cozy bar. New but feels timeless, warm lighting, romantic corners, lovely bar and DJ setup along the back and shelves of someone's quirky awesome record collection everywhere. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived and given menus that had us exclaiming with excitement over the tasty sounding descriptions of their cocktails and snacks. Great start.
It took our waitress a noticeably long time to take our order, but then the crazy delay came after. You know when you reach a point waiting for your order where your whole table is just staring with confusion at the bar able to think of anything else besides where they went so wrong in life to be sitting in limbo like that? It was like that, plus the records were skipping and screeching and in some cases repeating whole songs over again. We finally saw our cocktails arrive on a tray only to see the waitress bring them back to the bartender because of a mistake in the order. When the drinks did arrive they were close to good, but not there yet. Flavours were all mixed up, smoky and over sweet and just not right.
The popcorn we ordered was the highlight, freshly made and super tasty lemon pepper topping. We also loved that people from the few other tables that were full got up to dance, and we found our waitress super nice.
Like I say, huge potential, can't wait to see them work the kinks out and become a really kickass bar.
