With lots of dark wood and Moroccan tiles glowing in gold from the under the counter lighting and framing the bar, the dark & sexy vibe envelopes you immediately upon entering. There are tables and high-top tables on the left and a large bar to the right with various hanging mosaic lights adding even more ambiance. This is a beautiful bar.
We came for cocktails after dinner elsewhere, having seen the sign and realizing this was new, so we had to check it out. The food menu seemed to consist of various types of hot dogs and cupcakes. Is this a thing? If I'm going out with friends for Happy Hour, I want better food choices.
The cocktail menu is filled with inventive concoctions with clever names like Standing Spritz Face. If only I could have seen the description in the dark I would have ordered one! Note to owner, please add more candles to the bar so customers can actually see the menu. I'm all for ambiance, but it's in everyone's best interest to have enough light to read and order.
Yes, I did try to use the flashlight on my phone, but there was a user error! Frustrated, I gave up and ordered a margarita on the rocks. It was good, but not as good as the margaritas next door at Papi Chulos which was strange because the restaurants share the same owner. My friend had wine, which was fine.
As the night went on, a few people came and went, most noticing the new bar and checking it out, same as us. The bartenders weren't overly friendly or attentive, surprising since it wasn't crowded. I'll chalk this up to newness. Hopefully when they get into a groove this can become a place where people become regulars. It's such a nice looking place!
Even though there are some kinks to work out, this is a place where I enjoyed hanging out. It's in a great location making it easy to stop in before or after dinner.
