Stopped in for some wine, the owner was working and super friendly and knowledgeable about wine! Thanks for the great memory for me and my friends! They had live music that night but sadly we couldn't stick around!

My partner and I were very impressed with the whiskey selections and knowledge of the owner, who was also our bartender. She was extremely friendly and laid back. The place was clean and had a good vibe. We would definitely recommend this place if you like your whiskey or would like to stop for a casual drink.

The first time I visited this location was an absolute blast! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a stunning, well-stocked bar that sets the tone for the entire experience. The establishment itself exudes a warm and inviting ambiance with its beautiful, dimly lit surroundings and a dedicated performance stage that hosts live music and events. I had the pleasure of visiting with a friend on comedy night, just before dinner, and it was genuinely such a joyous experience. The bar boasted an extensive and excellent selection of beers, complemented by an impressively curated wine list. The service was top-notch; the staff were incredibly helpful in navigating the choices, which added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. The crowd was lively and inclusive, filled with friendly locals and regulars, creating an atmosphere that was undeniably fun and welcoming. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a fantastic night out. The combination of great drinks, exceptional service, and a vibrant atmosphere make it a must-visit in my book!

Cozy atmosphere. Good selection of wine, whiskey and craft beers. Try the Brix barrel pick from Iowa Legendary Rye, a great smooth rye.

I love this place, great atmosphere and drink selections. They make a great old-fashioned but my preference is Prosecco or wine, they have a delicious wine smoothie!!

*** The new location was great. The bartender, not the owner, needs more whiskey knowledge but still very charming. The ceiling looks original; it's nice to see a building preserved. We stopped here on a whim in a Saturday afternoon and little did we know how pleasantly surprised we would be once we sat down. Melissa gave us a whiskey 101 that us vodka drinkers completely absorbed. We were absolutely fascinated and enjoyed everything she shared with us. I think I may be a rye drinker?!? My husband is a whiskey drinker and he said the options are incredible so they pair perfectly with the atmosphere that’s been created from the ostrich skin chairs to the beautiful ceiling tiles. We will return on a Friday evening when there’s live music so we can enjoy ourselves all over again.
