The place: feels immediately familiar. Great neighborhood bar. Seats about 30 inside. The outdoors is a great space with good vibes when the weather is pleasant. We've probably been at least half a dozen times since we moved to Avondale 8 months ago.The taste: love that they recently expanded their menu. Most recently we shared the hai and low burger - super tasty. The fries are always a good call. They even have some snacks if a bag of chips or Pocky is all you need (strawberry or cookies and cream). My face: a good mix of NA drinks and cocktails (and beer if you're into that), so it's usually a smile. $4 old styles. $8-$14 cocktails. $12 burgers. On our most recent visit, final tab was $85 for 2 cocktails, 2 beers, 1 burger, 1 order of onion rings, 1 pocky.

Nice atmosphere for good cocktails and food. Also a convenient place to drop off knives for sharpening.

Hung out here during happy hour time on a Friday - quite busy, but getting a table was no problem. The patio is very cute and spacious and there is a Traeger grill that'll soon be used for events and BBQs in the space! Drink selection was great and their bar snacks hit the spot (get the mini hot dogs!). Overall a great neighborhood spot.

Love this spot! Whether you want a laid back lounge on the inside, the open and airy patio outdoors, or a full on art gallery, there's something for you. The indoor bar area is dark and sexy with a bit of a vintage lounge vibe. Very nice if you're looking for a chill intimate vibe. The craft cocktail menu is small but there are some really delicious creations. I got a pomegranate tequila cocktail which was great. My partner tried a few of the brown liquor drinks and loved them all. They also serve a really good burger. I got it with the pasta salad and skinny fries, and it was great for a casual lunch. It was served on a metal tray so don't expect anything fancy, but it was exactly what I needed after a few cocktails.The patio is great for day of night! They usually set up several fire pits and it's an extremely cozy atmosphere. There's plenty of seating including shared picnic tables and more private smaller tables.The patio is also host to the monthly art show "Dope Art Show" which is an amazing collection of local artworks at super affordable prices. They also partner with Plant Shop Chicago and sell gorgeous plants. Get there early because the artworks by the well known artists sell fast!! Bird Milk, KawaiiSuga, TotesFerosh, Blake Jones, Shawnimals, and more! The show is timed reservations during covid, which makes it feel not too crowded and super safe. Overall, I really love this place. Great for a group of friends or to have an intimate drink.

So, the staff here is kick *butt* (trying to keep it PG in case any minors come to the bar and want to read this before deciding to come out). Great service, always hustling especially given the varying pop-ups this summer. Forgive me if I missed names (or misspelled any), but Joel, Jane, Janine, Grace, Miles, Michael, Leo are all killer. If I ran a bar (which I don't) I'd hire all of them. Grain of salt on that from a bar perspective, but I have done retail and I'd want all of these rockstars.

So the ambiance is really the main theme of this place. It was nice outside in the back to bring your dog once you get past the cigarette smoking. We were confused at first because we didn't know we could bring our dogs through the inside to get to the back. We get to the back we were there for like 10 mins and nobody told us we had to go inside to get our drinks and order food they also didn't have gluten free options. The food selection wasn't the best also the day we went which is why they got three stars. Also when i went in with my dog to get a drink there were 3 bartenders and they we're talking to other people sitting at the bar having a conversation it took 4-5 mins for one of them to ask me what I would like so that annoyed me.
