Description
The nattily attired mixologists are deadly serious about drinks at this pseudospeakeasy with Gothic flair (dont be intimidated by the imposing wooden door). Black walls and cushy booths combine with chandeliers to set the luxuriously somber mood. Patrons bored by shot-and-beer bars can sample the inventive cocktails, including a fiery Fresa Brava (strawberries and jalapeño-infused tequila), as well as top-notch grub including bacon-swaddled filet mignon bites.
Hours
Mon–Thu, Sun 7pm–2am; Fri, Sat 7pm–3am.
This place is owned by Ravi Derossi, who also owns the Bourgeois Pig. When I tried to meet my husband at the Pig, first Ravi wouldn't let me enter until he finished a cell phone call, then called me a "bitch" when I told him we were leaving because he had been so rude. Unless you want to patronize places owned by a man who verbally abuses women, I'd avoid this place.
I went for my birthday and the cocktails and appetizers were great but the service and staff were completely OBNOXIOUS and UNWELCOMING.
