TeLly fun place, excellent whiskey and craft beer selection, great craft cocktails esp. the Espresso Martini. Food is limited to specialty sandwiches and pizzas both are worth having. Theater themed vibe with old black and white movies playing. A cool place to hang out.

Love the couches and the entertainment. If you are in the Theater District you have to stop in. Great Bourbon menu that won‘t break the bank.

What a great place, went to see the Ujima production of 12 Mo angry men and was invited by the cast to come to this cool place. Had the old fashioned & another bourbon/lime cocktail. Liked them both so much that we had 3 each by the end of night. That’s only 3 drinks each, great to Uber around. Really liked the vibe and met some regulars including theatre personality Anthony Chase & Javier?

This is such a great post show hangout! Free popcorn while supplies last and signature drinks good and strong with a nice ambiance to boot! Bartenders were great and we really had a great time! We'll be back!

What a hidden gem. Well, maybe it's not, but I had no idea it's been on Main Street for 7 years now. Cozy and eclectic decor with playbills from various performances hanging on the walls. The staff was wonderful and so detailed with crafting our cocktails. They have a Wednesday deal where you get a draft beer, a shot, and the pizza of the day for only $20. All the other drink prices were very reasonable as well. The pizza was delicious. I believe it was mushroom truffle and jalapeño. We opted for no pepperoni. It was made to order, crisp and delicious. This will now be one of our stops whenever we go downtown.

Absolute gem of the theatre district. Nice intimate setting, terrific happy hour sales on Wednesday night, owners are kind and accessible. Very well stocked female facilities, (or so I'm told), and a very welcoming environment.

I advise you go here on Wednesdays, for obvious reasons. The vibes are hella nice and the bartender is cool af, and the za was delic. I also suggest you try the flight of whiskey... word of advice, the numbers next to the whiskey are the proof, not the price (judge me all you want).
