A neighborhood saloon with old-school charm and a welcoming vibe—think dive bar aesthetics without the actual dive bar roughness. Order strong, well-made cocktails (both classics and creative twists) in a chill atmosphere where locals actually talk to each other. The iconic neon sign outside is worth the visit alone, though the window display is more window dressing than substance.
