    Vintage decor Craft cocktails Intimate setting Outdoor patio Vegetarian bites
    Tucked away on Ingersoll Avenue, this cozy bar exudes a vintage charm with its retro décor and intimate setting. The cocktail menu is a mix of classics and inventive creations, like the "We’ll Take it From Here," where the bartender crafts a drink based on your preferences. The outdoor patio, equipped with heaters and fire pits, offers a comfortable spot to enjoy a drink year-round. They also serve creative vegetarian bites, such as a BBQ jackfruit sandwich that rivals its meat counterpart.
