Kevin & his team are Aces...! Great spot and one of the most beautiful bars I've ever seen. I think Kevin's dad or grandfather took it piece by piece from a famous NYC hotspot.

Fantastic live music on Saturday nights. Classic tavern decor including a historic back bar salvaged from the old Waldorf Hotel in NYC. Managed by the friendly third generation owner from the founding family.

Drinks are cheaper than most bars and the crowd is mixed but respectful. No live music, but there is a jukebox and there’s a patio in the back with seating. Definitely a good vibe. Busiest after 9/10pm. Although they don’t serve food, you can bring food in. Still rate it 5 stars.
