    Food was awesome I had a Cry baby burger cooked perfectly to medium rare, and a Shrimp appetizer with a really nice sauce and crispy outer fry. Staff are friendly and have great fashion sense, lots of cool unique attire. Place gets real busy, I like that environment, but the interior doesn't have much to absorb sound so if you are prone to overstimulation you might prefer to eat outdoors, there are a handful of small tables. Only thing that wasn't good is my appetizer got lost in the shuffle, took about 20 minutes to get it after we had all eaten our main entrees and the other apps. Server was super polite about it, and I wasnt their fault, still that was a bit frustrating. Otherwise service is good, and we got all our other food within 15 minutes of ordering so can't really complain. A Good business, visit if you're in town.

    Recently went there for a date with my boyfriend, great food and great drinks. Our waiter was Samuel, who was SUPER friendly, helpful, and attentive and probably one of the best waiters I've ever had. Overall, great food and service and would definitely go again.

    Such a fun time! Evan our server was amazing. Shrimp cake appetizers hit the spot. Korean fried chicken sandwich with kimchi and smothered in gochujang was mind-blowing! Drinks were delicious. Singapore sling, aku aku, and habanero peach margaritas were highlights. Every table seemed to also be having fun. Def worth checking out.

    My family and I came here recently and had a wonderful experience. Our server Dylan was very friendly and provided excellent service. When they did not have the necessary ingredients for a specific cocktail, the nice bartender Kyle used what he had to approximate it and the result was outstanding. All the food was equally impressive, but the Impossible patty melt was especially delicious.

    A really nice craft cocktail bar with good food. The place has a cool atmosphere and attracts an older college crowd. A great location for some good bar bites. Dont forget the tator tots…. Absolute best I’ve ever had! Watch out for the cider… it’s potent… but so good!

    A craft cocktail bar with amazing food. The place has a cool vintage atmosphere and a few games for patrons to play. Their gin fizz and paloma are delicious, well-balanced drinks. A great location for late-night food, including a bucket of fried chicken, which is amazing. The drinks are on the more expensive side but they're well made and fairly priced in my opinion.

    One of Gainesville's top 3 burgers! Buns were perfectly toasted, patty was cooked perfectly, fries were delicious. I just wish they had some fresh onions for topping to cut some of the greasiness. The hot chicken sandwich was actually pretty spicy! Staff were friendly and efficient. Prices were very reasonable and I'd definitely come back!
