"A neighborhood bar referenced as a casual meetup spot for restaurant staff: a planned rendezvous there is foiled when a coworker intercepts the expected guest and leaves with them, hinting at the bar’s role as part of the staff’s social circuit and a setting for interpersonal maneuvering." - Greg Morabito
"Portrayed as a late-night watering hole where employees from many of downtown’s popular restaurants converge, this bar functions as a chaotic social hub: people drink heavily, gossip, and mingle across cliques, and interactions quickly slip into violence, theft, and drug use. Key incidents include the protagonist being persuaded to deliver a message that results in a slap, a cellphone theft engineered during the confusion, and a bathroom scene featuring a cocaine bump and a clandestine kiss. The place is depicted as implausibly barroom-cantina-like — a crossroads for the city’s restaurant world where camaraderie and danger coexist." - Greg Morabito
