Absolutely fantastic bar. The staff is attentive and courteous. And the food! I personally suggest the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. It's got great flavor and heat. The vietnamese steak salad is also quite good. Something a little different and not what I was familiar with.

This is a very unique spot in town. The drinks are VERY strong and totally worth the money. They also serve modern upscale versions of classic bar food. It's a great place to meet friends. If you go on a Friday or Saturday between May and August, it's very likely that you'll be treated to a fireworks display from the adjoining ballpark.

Really great experience. Forgot I was in Indiana Good music, good vibes, good service, good food and drinks! The burgers and poutine were both drool worthy perfection. Staff was very friendly and made great suggestions. Might have to make a trip all the way back up to Fort Wayne just to go here again!

Came here for the first time last night and it was fantastic! Our server was so helpful but he didn't hover. City views are beautiful. Food and drinks were so good, you can tell a lot of care was taken in developing the menu.

This was so much fun! Great drinks and food, and we want to go back to try even more. There were fun games at the tables and the atmosphere was so welcoming and fun. The location is a great one, as it’s within walking distance of multiple other places to eat and drink (if that’s what you’re out and about for). Really looking forward to stopping by again this summer!

Terrific experience! Exactly what I was looking for: a cocktail and a small meal on the side ;) The food was prepared very quickly and tasted great. Very nice server and an excellent cocktail. I’ll be back!

Good spot to enjoy the city view. Some of the best drinks in town. Every cocktail has a unique taste and I haven't had a drink I didn't love. Great place for group gatherings. Service is always great, always really nice.
