I was a bit surprised at the classy-ish vibe here when I arrived to scope out this new Eastlake joint. It didn't have quite the neighborhood feel I was expecting. I knew it would be a little more elevated than other things on the block, but it didn't feel super comfortable trying to finish up my work here while enjoying the happy hour (3pm-6pm). I'm glad I got one of the outdoor counter seats, because it seemed like the only appropriate place to bust out a laptop. OK, so it's a nice looking place, with a decent amount of patio space, and pretty nice seating arrangements overall, indoor and outdoors. The service was very patient, attentive and friendly. I think the happy hour is very alluring! I tried the oak age manhattan and was very happy. It was my third manhattan out of three places this week, and it was my favorite. At $12 it was a modest discount, but unlike some places, you get a the regular sized drink, and I realized they typically charge $19 for this barrel aged cocktail. I was very happy with that. I got an 8" pizza, which is a perfect size, and I believe the classic ones are about $10 and the specialty ones are $15. Perfect size for one hungry person or two snacky people. There were actually a lot of things on the HH menu from small and inexpensive and up to the pizzas (I can't really remember if there were other medium sized plate meals). So despite the fact that I might not see myself finishing up work with a cocktail here (although I probably will anyway, the inside bar top just seemed a smooshed) this is a great place to bring a date or group of friends. I'm aware there are a few MioPostos in the city now, but signs point to that they have a good thing going and so why not?
