Happy Hour 4:30-8:00 M-F. Half off small plates. Half off whiskeys $5.75 or less, $3 draft beers, and $4.50 wine by the glass. Best deal in Columbus, bar none (har dee har...).

Flat iron steak is great and perfectly cooked, but pretty heavy on the sauce... ask for it on the side. Dirty burn is a fantastic twist on a classic martini!

The servers are very personable. If you have a question about a specific whiskey or bourbon, they have a knowledgeable answer.

Get Melissa to make you "Tony's Tequila Drink" it's one of the only tequila long drinks and it is rather delicious.

The catfish sandwich is incredible! And the sazerac cocktail is the best I've had outside of New Orleans.

Small plates are great past-9pm meal to not put u in for the night. Try the tuna crustini or the duck flatbread. Nicely price menu and always a friendly atmosphere.

The New Old Fashioned is pretty good. Doesn't come with a garnish. Ask for one if you want it.

One of the best happy hours Columbus has to offer. Half off their delicious small plates! Not your regular bar food.

Happy hour is dope here! 1/2 off small plates, which are fantastic. Service is swell and don't forget the whiskey.

The small plates here are fantastic. Keep your eye on Fudha for coupons -- they've sold there at least twice.

If you like Moscow Mules, check out their Kentucky Mule.

The door handle on the women's bathroom is backwards. If you're drunk...you may get stuck. Stay calm.
