The experience was fantastic and our person teaching us the espresso martini was funny. I only wish it was in a more quiet area as it was really noisy when people would sit at the tables right next to the bar where it was held and it made it hard to hear our person speak. Overall great experience though.

Very nice spot - great views of the city. Great pre-game spot before the game that wasn't too crowded. Drinks were good, limited food options - at least on the bar menu, but service was good. It was a bit warm on the patio in direct sun but sounds like they are getting some umbrellas that will fix that. Overall recommend - another nice spot to checkout when you are going to a game.
