The host was extremely helpful when we showed up early for our reservation and directed us on where to stand and get drinks until our table was ready. Cocktail was well made. Beer selection was well curated, nice balance of craft and mainstream. I had the dry rub wings which were perfectly prepared and came with a side of pickled carrots which were really good. A good place to hang out before a show at 9:30 club.
