It is a nice bar, and I had a good time, however I left my card at the bar after forgetting to close out the tab (because the bartender was in a rush and didn't want to close it out at the time) thinking I could pick it up a few days later. I called and confirmed the card was still there as well the next day. I come to find out the card was stolen and used for Apple purchases elsewhere. Ridiculous. Just because you leave a card at the bar does not mean it can be used. Unacceptable behavior either by management or by people working the bar.

Nice, comfy and rather sexy spot. Sort of romantic too & not loud. Yet the music is horrible. The bartender struggles a bit with keeping up with orders. No pics needed.

Such a cute date spot complete with mood lighting! Theyve truly mastered an atmosphere here. The bartenders were also so, so cool and nice. One of them looks like Jim from the office if you want something close to a celebrity sighting. Overall great experience thank you!

One of my absolute favorite beer and wine spots in lower Manhattan! Staff is kind and tentative.Great environment. A few more available seats would be helpful, but all in all a great bar!

I've been here three times, and two out of the three it was because every other bar in this area was packed. Don't get me wrong: this isn't a last resort type of place. Far from it -- literally, it's kind of far to get to from the main thoroughfare of the West Village. It might look like it's packed on the outside (especially on a Thursday/Friday/Saturday evening), but usually you can find seats inside. The place has an interesting set up. There's a sleek leather booth running along one entire wall with three tables. These are probably the prime seats in the house, so to speak. The space is bigger

I wanted to rate this higher. I really love this venue and the drinks and location because its romantic, dark, tucked away, not crowded. But we had a negative altercation with some other patrons in this bar who were trying to start fights with the bartender, it was just uncomfortable.
