Description
Weekly trivia nights and a highly popular martini and fries happy hour special anchor the neighborhood draw, though some guests note that pricing details for drink variations are not always clearly communicated. Beyond drinks, the kitchen offers thoughtful plates like deviled eggs, burrata, and hot honey chicken, with some visitors comparing the quality of the dishes to a fine dining experience. The menu also features a decadent butter toffee cake, and the space accommodates both loud, high-energy trivia evenings and a quieter brunch on Amsterdam Avenue.
