I will only be reviewing about the drinks. The host told us to just shove our way in to the bar and order from the bartenders.

After getting a spot at the bar, looked the at drink menu and quickly ordered our drinks. The drink menu is pretty cool. They have a lot of specialty spirits and craft cocktails.
I ordered the Hemingway and my boyfriend got a Gin & Tonic. The G&T came fairly quickly. The Hemingway took a while. I watched the bartender make it. He seemed very sloppy, but more in a geeky way than a bad way. After he poured the cocktail into a glass, he took a sip from the shaker!!! First off, shouldn't he taste the drink before pouring it? Second, I've never seen a bartender drink from the actual shaker!!! I hope they wash those shakers well.... Anyway, my drink was good.
But the restaurant was getting packed and people were shoving their way to the bar near us to order a drink. Wasn't a fun experience, but not horrible either. Probably due to my high expectations, I thought it just would have been a lot cooler.
