First of all I don’t write this kinda long reviews or I don’t like to blame someone ,but I am so upset , I can’t stand when someone mistreats me and I have to speak for myself… Imagine a bar that you go on regular bases and you know bartenders, even tho you don’t have communication with bartenders ,you try their drinks and figure out who is making better drinks or not… I was there tonight (3/11/2022) all I wanted a Long Island and I tried one of the bartender’s drink before , (“LONG ISLAND “) I was waiting for the specific bartender, the other one approached me and asked if I needed help( which I appreciate), I kindly said I am waiting for the other bartender. All of the sudden instead of taking care of other customers , she got mad and said ; she is on the other side and busy ( I can see her) I said it’s fine but instead of saying ok she made this a big deal … she went to the male bartender and complained about me ,this time male bartender asked me if I needed help and he asked it on purpose cuz the other bartender told her the story …. Long story short ;since she complained about me and gave me an attitude it’s cuz I want drinks from the other bartender… I felt pressure and ask for the an Long Island and that drink was the worst Long Island that I ever had in my life… I told the whole story to the main character and she said ;Yeah I know she also told me , (what kinda person spread words like this … ) I make your drink next round which wasn’t the thing I was expecting to hear, and without finishing my drink I left the bar… So listen to me There is nothing wrong if you ask for a specific bartender, keep that in mind …. don’t make it a big deal , I have a right to choose the person and I wasn’t trying to give you hard time but you...

Read moreMy first impression was that this is an uninspired millennial run gentrification-themed bar with "fancy Midwest" prices, but then I come to find out that they've banned Sudanese people from this bar because of some fight months ago?
An interesting double standard considering that If I had a dollar for every white bar fight in Eastern Nebraska I could retire comfortably at the ripe old age of 25.
Drinks are fine, nothing special for the area, and this bar looks like many others with exposed brick, "industrial" wood and metal, and a mirror or two?
The design and aesthetics are exciting for the crowd who wants to re-watch Friends or The Office rather than any new show since 2010 and refuses to develop a personality beyond these two show's references.
