A "speakeasy" style bar. There is no sign. Go to the address and if the light is on above the door they are open. There is often a line to get in here as they only let in the number of people that they have seats for. It's very dark inside and the decor is super cool. You will experience some delicious and creative cocktails crafted by some true mixologists.
