Don't let the faded outside keep you from going inside like it did for me. The atmosphere inside is clean lines and warmth. The drinks are fantastic! B side please update your facade to reflect the jewel you have inside!

It's a really eclectic, fun bar that has live music and serves food. We went to watch a local band and have dessert and coffee. Good time. Nice younger crowd. I recommend it.

A small, intimate performance space with music vibes and, if you plan it right, live music! 🎸you can't get much closer to the musicians than here!
The food selection is eclectic - several imaginative house specials complement common standbys; we thoroughly enjoyed every dish we had.
Very friendly service!

Can't beat the prices and quality of the unique food they come up with. You know the cook has some mystical powers with every dish he makes. You also never know what kind of music talent you will run into. More

We had dinner and the food was different and great. I had the Kabocha Squash and Grain salad which was delicious, nice non meat option. The band on 11/14 was a group from SUNY Oneonta so the restaurant supports local talent. The crowd was warm and friendly.. we will be back! More
