Good environment, good drinks. Not very expensive. But our experience was ruined by a staff member. I visited this place because of a very good review by one of my friend. She made us feel that maybe i wasn’t welcome. Took our order in a very passive aggressive and dismissive way. For no reason, assuming because we looked different than everyone around. Maybe she was having a bad day. Although ruined our night.
