Description
The service is notably attentive, and prices are surprisingly reasonable. The bar features a decently stocked whiskey selection—including unexpected finds like Balcones Baby Blue—alongside old fashioneds, beer, and simple bites. It is a convenient spot to wait while a companion shops, though it is not a place for quiet conversation. Between the clamor of shoppers and the constant PA announcements explaining the department's ticket system, the experience is loud, lively, and highly entertaining.
