"Interesting place but getting a drink was impossible. We were told to wait while other 'more important' people were served. We ended up leaving without getting a drink after waiting for 20 minutes at the front of the line."

"Great place: Not super busy for an ACL weekend. Prices conservative. Staff super friendly and helpful. Alyssa was amazing and was very conscious of our needs."

"Unique church themed bar. First floor is very low key and calm. Second floor has 2 DJs. Indoor and outdoor. Cool setup, but the bar was relatively empty on a sat night (10-11pm) and we didn’t fully vibe with the atmosphere. Drinks were good."

"Came here on a Sunday Funday to enjoy the $10 dollar champagne bottle deal. They had good music playing and definitely a good vibe. Will need to come back soon the check out the food items. Instagram: food_and_travel0"

"Well styled cocktail bar venue on Congress. Building has some neat architectural features such as a spiral staircase, and a draping garden outdoor patio on the back roof. Bartenders were friendly, good service. $1 East Coast oysters on Tuesdays until 10:00 p.m. I attended a Valentine's Day event that was a private DJ'd dance party and burlesque show upstairs. The event was really good, too, but that's not particularly related to the venue. So if you're looking for a neat space to host your event, the back patio is cool and good weather."
