Unfortunate bad experience.. Ordered basic cheeseburger well done pickles lettuce tomato no onion no butter on bun..couple of bites, realizes "ketchup" on it, didn't order it...bartender wouldn't redo, asked for bill, he wanted to charge me for it..further discussion as to "ketchup issue", removed, paid for my IPA and left (did tip $3 on $8 beer)..sad as LFK was recommended by my daughter. Couple next to me talking about putting deodorant on their "nipples". Also, was showing TV "Chuckie", bartender wouldn't change to Dodgers game (no one was watching it. Oh well...won't be returning.

The food isn’t fantastic, but good for a bar. The drinks are very strong which depending on what you like could be a good or bad thing, the pricing is extremely fair. Good deals on beers and shots. The curly fries are killer. Been there twice and both times the music has been extremely loud, the service is eh. Servers tend to hang behind the bar and chat with each other.

Great bar! Came after dining just for a drink on a Sunday night. Looking for a chilled vibe and found it. Gordon was a friendly host and .we enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. Far better than a stuffy hotel bar.

Comfy cool atmosphere. We came in around 9pm after dinner and stumbled in on the couch by the entrance. The bartender came to us and took our order within 5 minutes even though we weren’t at the bar so that was nice. The floor was wet with a bunch of spilled drinks I guess which was kinda gross but I can imagine them being understaffed during a busy time during Halloween weekend, so fine. Cool decor inside like old books, magazines, typewriters and interesting art. We only came for drinks and they were outstanding. I got the ‘Mother Leopard’ cocktail and haven’t had a cocktail that aromatic and yummy in a while.

I will say atmosphere is great however cocktails are average and service is subpar. There are two portraits of Karl Marx…

The atmosphere here is fun and eclectic! We went at kind of a dead time, but I can imagine that this would be a really great spot to hang out on busier nights! All we ordered for food were the french fries, which were perfect in every way — crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, & seasoned well. The other food that came out looked great as well!

Everyone here at this establishment are truly blessed. I was grabbing a fellow human some food. Just a little something that would cure his hunger for a while. When the employees learned what I was doing, they hooked him up and wouldnt charge me for what extra they gave him. Truly amazing humans, everyone should come support. Love these guys 🙏❤️

Very, very nice decor. Music was fitting for the scene. I grabbed a pizza (because grown). I ate it (minus the crust...I know, I know). We tried to get a Polaroid photo, but were informed they were for "lifers (I guess)." Drinks were good.
