About: The restaurant and bar is extremely elegant, part rock n’ roll, part Vegas poker den, and part old fashioned glamour. Even though it’s got a chic name it is considered an “old school mens bar” and to prove it each bathroom comes stocked with 1970s vintage Playboys. Sorry boys they in display case so you won't be able to really read them. This place has a great vibe and is perfect for catching up with friends, celebrating an engagement (shout out to Melissa and Chrissy on the big news!), birthday or hot date ;) Especially if you go on Wednesdays sit when their signiture cocktails are 1/2 off (7$ each) all night. Keep in mind the drink specials are only available at the bar. When you get their try the Queen Bee (Vodka, St. Germain, Honey, Prosecco)(my personal fav), King Bee and the Pick Me Up. This place has an indoor garden (that stays open in the winter).
