Always incredible. Well rounded cocktail, wine + beer list. Can’t go wrong with banana pepper dip, cauliflower or any of the pizzas. Atmosphere is great both inside and outside - when the patio is open during the warmer months!

Such an awesome spot! My and a large group of friends came here for my birthday and we had such a great time. The drinks and food are phenomenal as well as the atmosphere. The bar staff was super friendly and personable. Even when my group became loud they handled the situation professionally. I cannot recommend them enough.

I stopped here last night with my boyfriend. It was weird to not see it super packed. I hadn't been here since 2018 or 2019. At that time, they always were super busy on Friday nights. They also used to have wait staff. The employees who took our plates are more or less food runners. Upon entering you need to seat yourself. (Why have a hostess stand/area then?) If you're not seated at the bar, you have to go up to a special section at the bar and order food and drinks there. That was a bit weird and off putting. My boyfriend put in an order for an Irish coffee for myself, a baby kittens IPA for himself, and meatballs for an appetizer. My Irish coffee was good, he enjoyed his beer and we both enjoyed the meatballs. For our food, we split two pizzas. I wanted the potato bacon pizza and he wanted the pizza from their specials menu, which was salami fig. Both were so very amazing, especially the potato bacon pizza. The place was low key and quiet. It had a chill vibe. If you wanted water, cutlery, or a box to take the rest of your pizza home, you had to get it yourself from a table near the patio. I wasn't used to that at this place. If you want great drinks and amazing pizza, this place is worth the price, just be ready to order your own food up front and get your own table settings and to-go boxes.

Only gave 3 stars for service because it's mostly self service. It was fine!!! Ordered our drinks and food at bar and got our drinks there and our food was delivered to the table. Great drinks and pizza!!! Will come

Located in Larkinville, with cool casual vibe aesthetic. We came on Tuesday where their pizzas are $10 which is a nice deal. The bar is huge and has so many liquor options with the drinks always changing. We sat at the bar and I ordered a Paloma with their homemade grapefruit juice. I ordered the burrata pizza but there were so many delicious pizzas it was hard for me to pick. The combo is always a classic with crispy prosciutto with the acidity of the balsamic. The crust was crispy and the pizza was a good size that left a piece or two for leftovers. Will be back to try a different pizza.

Pretty hip youthful place. When I went it was self seating and you ordered at the bar. There was at least two clean tables on a Friday evening so the bussers were doing great!We ordered four pizzas and apps and got all of our food within close to 10 minutes.Everything tasted amazing and we all stuffed ourselves. I highly recommend the Spicy Pep and the Potato Bacon pizzas.

I've been here before and loved it... but tonight was a bad experience. My boyfriend and I went for a late dinner and drinks around 8:45pm. We are both strict vegetarians and he is allergic to eggs and can't have anything with eggs in it. We thought this place sounded like it had some great options for him since they say "vegan" friendly. We walked in and ordered drinks and then asked the bartender if he could help us with some dietary restriction questions or if we should ask the guys making pizzas. He said he could help because either way they would have to check on things. So we asked about two different apps- the banana pepper dip or cauliflower and if it was eggless and/or any if the items were fried in the frier with meat. He said the chips were fried, so he offered to do veggies with the banana pepper dip. We said that sounded good and we would do that. We also said we wanted to order pizza as well but would come back in a bit to order that and more drinks. We opened our tab for the dip and 2 drinks and went back to the table. 30 - 40 minutes went by and we were still waiting on the dip. We thought maybe it would take longer than usual due to the swap from chips to veggies.They don't have servers after a certain time and it was getting late so no one was checking on us. I figured I would at least go close the tab while we waited. I went to pay and the dip was never even entered into the computer... so we sat there waiting for 30 - 40 minutes for nothing. By the time I had closed the tab it was 9:45... they close at 10. So no dinner for us. Such a bummer, honestly. It is cute inside and they played great music, but we confirmed we wanted the dip and never got any food...

This is the first place we tried while visiting Buffalo for the weekend. Food and decor are amazing. Drinks take a bit to make as the bartenders are true mixologists but every cocktail was fantastic.

Cool vibe but food was meh.... Have to order at the bar so no real service. Would not go back when there are so many other cool places

I told them when I ordered my food that I have a food allergy to have clean gloves and clean knives when preparing my food (because cross contamination is real) and they must not have followed my request because I am the one dealing with the repurcussions of an allergic reation. Will never go back.
