A beautiful refurbishing. Flooring, stair railing, and the use of space for a cafe and bar. Food was way above any bar food. My Margarita was delicious. A wonderful selection of beers and spirits.

Love the concept and a great use of an old school. Outdoor and indoor layout was super fun and the type of food was not only cool and matching the theme but fantastic. Highly recommend as I will be returning soon!
