Perfection - it was our anniversary! We opted for bar area. Happy hour drinks were offered and delicious! Our bartender was so nice and made sure our group had what we needed. Ordered the wings Bbq and Plain SO GOOD! The nacho Large portion to share with a warm pretzel we shared. The decor and view fit the vibe. Lots of parking - bar located on second floor. Some of the outside seating is covered. We have been several times and we always start planning our return while we are there.
