This looks like my kind of funky ass place. .
Anyone been?

Went a couple times a year or two ago when it first opened. It’s OK as a novelty but likely not destination worthy.
I do recall the annoyance of them serving beer out of coffee mugs to try to be unique. It ended up being like 8-10 ounces of beer, which is kind of bs.
Frankly, I’m kind of surprised they’re still open. The crowd at the time was pretty trendy and I would have thought they all moved on.

Been twice and it’s pretty much a gimmick. It was fun for a coworker’s 80s themed birthday party but not the kind of place I’d go back to for a drink or to hang out with friends.
It was so packed the two times I went that you had to elbow your way through the crowd to get to the bar, the bathrooms, etc.
Oh and the whole “secret entrance” thing is a serious exaggeration. There’s usually a line or crowd outside, which means the secret is out. Feels more like a place for tourists than locals with loads of options.

Its a popular place. Super busy and decently trendy if you’re into that kind of thing both times I’ve gone I had to wait in line and fight to get a drink, not really my scene anymore.
But it might be worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Not into trendy, whatsoever, but it looks so funky, when in town, I’ll check it out.
Thanks!
Probably would of been fun when I was in my 20’s to put up with crap like that in a packed bar…beer served in coffee mugs…
Wonder if they still do that stupid stuff?
It’s fun to take people there. Been 3 times. I like No Vacancy also. I go when it’s not peak hours. Like pre-dinner cocktails.
