A small, across-the-street bar that’s ideal for happy hour when you want a no-fuss drink menu and a reliable pre-show meeting point. There’s not much menu noise—show up, order fast, and treat it like a short, efficient stop rather than a full-night destination.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited availability and tight spots, especially on show nights at Thalia Hall.
Dress code: Casual — jeans, sneakers, and after-work clothes all fit; no need to dress up.
Noise level: Moderate — easy to talk early, gets louder as pre-show crowds roll in.
Weekend wait: No formal wait, but standing-room-only is common 1 hour before nearby shows.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable — bar-focused spot, typically no wait during early evening hours.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Not applicable — drinks-only focus with no dedicated food menu.
Vegan options: Yes for drinks — standard cocktails, beer, and spirits; no food offerings.
Gluten-free options: Yes for drinks — cider and gluten-free-friendly spirits available, but no dedicated menu labeling.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, but only as a quick stop — it’s ideal for a low-pressure drink before a show, not a long sit-and-talk evening.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are only a few seats; arrive early if you want to sit, otherwise expect to stand comfortably at the bar.
Is it kid-friendly? No — this is a compact, alcohol-first bar best suited for adults.
Best For
Better for: Fast, no-decision drinks and meeting friends before events when you want zero menu friction.
Skip if: You’re looking for food, a long hang, or a quieter cocktail lounge experience.
