Writer's Block Rehab

Very cute, eclectic little bar. The upstairs was closed, but the bar downstairs had plenty of seats for the early evening crowd on a Sunday. We enjoyed our two drinks, though a little on the sweet side for my preference. The overall experience was fine. We're down to go and try it again! Love the Lil Nas X mural on the side. It's gorgeous!

I was shocked at the hidden gem feel. There were maybe 10 people there when I came in, it's not crowded, not loud; I was able to get a cocktail and read a book and just chill. It's smaller than I thought it was, so I hope it stays a hidden gem. It's very cute and very clean and the people are super nice and the cocktail menu has a lot of options so I hope to keep coming back.

I came in on a Thursday night. Three people were sitting at the little bar downstairs. It was cute and I was only there for a snack and a drink. The bartender didn't greet me when I walked in and sat down, but I figured that was because he was talking to the customer in the middle. But then... He didn't come over to me for at least 5 minutes (I was also sitting next to the service bar so he came over to grab things in front of me without acknowledging that I was there). I had never been, so I didn't know the menu and fortunately the two women sitting next to me clued me in. When I put the drink in he set right to work on it. It was fine (an old fashioned). I nabbed him to ask about food, and he told me they had flatbread and I was like.. Haha great do... You have a menu? I ended up just getting chips because I was worried about the timing. Ultimately very strange experience. The space was really cute. Lots of faces on the wall up the stairs. A crossword puzzle on the wall behind the bar that's cute and has the names of authors on it. It made me sad, I was excited to go to this quirky cool writer/book lounge and instead was disappointed.

Cocktail was mediocre at best but the bartender was snarky and unwelcoming. He spilled the drink on arrival (no coaster or napkin) didn’t acknowledge it and informed us that a 20% tip would be automatically added until “everyone got used to it”. Apparently the bar was out of sprite, cherries, food? Other customers asked about food and the bartender responded that the server had not yet shown up as if they were supposed to know somehow? It was dive bar attitude and quality with exclusive cocktail bar prices.
