Allie HoldenApril 20, 2013The bartender told me the owner was the set designer of HBO's Deadwood and I'm not surprised! Excellent interior design and refreshing 1920's feel for IC. Generous pours, so pace yourselves!Upvote4Downvote
Amazing atmosphere and the best pool table in town, free. Great food and cheap drinks. All around one of the best places in town.

Nick BergusAugust 23, 2014Charcuterie is great, but I really love the hush puppies. A great and creative cocktail list.

Erik RowleyFebruary 13, 2015Kind of a bitter sweet surprise, used to be a fun dirty night club called Jakes, but I like the new establishment. Good cocktails & the stench from the restrooms isn't permeating the room anymore.UpvoteDownvote
