A cool concept, and looked like a place I could connect with but unortunately, I discovered that if you aren't a regular, you probably won't get served or have to wait a very long time. It wasn't just myself this was happening to. The staff would make eye contact with you but continue on joking with people at the bar or talking about a record rather than offering drinks. Disappointed I wasted so much time waiting when there were other interesting places I...
