- Bailey ShemenskiAugust 16, 2015Saturday- shot of bourbon and an old style can for $5. Can't beat that! Hang out in the back room- dark leather benching, very library feel.
GinaDecember 27, 2014Beautiful intimate bar with approachable staff. Was practically empty in the early evening (6pm). Cocktails are alright, personally enjoyed the Mezcal the most. 4 cocktail carafe for $24, good deal!
- Leah JubinalApril 16, 2014It's the old Empire. They play hip hop and serve legit cocktails. It's definitely got a lounge vibe. You'll like it if that's what your into....which I am.
