Okay, so this isn’t a coffee shop. But who cares?

The Bar
This place is hands-down my favorite casual fine-dining sports bar. (And it isn’t even close.)
I don’t even like sports. They’re boring. But that actually works out kinda well since they’re always showing some sport here that you normally only ever watch during the Olympics (hence, less boring).
The bartending is phenomenal in every way. Really makes this place stand out.
And they have a great happy hour. The best part is you can order some of their simply incredible food at reduced prices.
Want to eat some great food but for non-HH prices? Well then, steer clear of the bar, and head straight to the restaurant!
The Restaurant
This is the perfect spot for a nice date or a business meal. Tables are spread far enough apart that you’ll get a nice intimate space where you can hear each other talk. The place is a bit fancier than I’d personally prefer on most occasions, but it’s still comfortable somehow.
And the food is just so good. Paired with equally impressive service.
Plus, it’s easy (right now) to get a reservation compared to other spots. Or even to walk in without a reservation. (The place is still relatively new, so I fear this will change as more people find out.)
