Frankie and Eli remodeled their establishment and the end result is amazing! The food, cocktails, and attention to details are fantastic! The Don Cisco cocktail was my favorite and believe me...it was hard to choose from the 5 different ones we had. Thank you 512 for such a wonderful experience!

It was so great to find a local spot that checks all the boxes. Dope Vibe! Music on point! Great Bartender! Delicious cocktails! And though I didn't order anything this time around, they serve food! (And it has a semi-open kitchen!!) OH, and the staff was amazing, the icing on the cake! Definitely 5 stars. I'll be visiting again for sure.
