“ So far so good, bartender is extremely accommodating. They play good music as well. Haven't tried the food because we just ate. But overall I'm really liking the atmosphere. Ask for Ahmad! ”
“ Wasn't by design but, I just happened to end up here last Saturday night. Great atmosphere. I was surprised to find a predominantly black bar in the downtown area. Bartenders were cool, had hookahs as an option if that's the type of thing you're in to, and the ambience was great. Good music, fun people what more could you ask for? I highly recommend. ”
