This review addresses the rooftop only. I've never been anywhere else in the building.

It is pretty yuppified but the staff isn't and if they realize that you're from the hood they pour and bill accordingly. You have to be on the ball to get a table on the roof and you have to hold on to it for dear life but it's a hell of a view.

Classy. The first thing I did when I walked into this place was head to the bathroom to clean myself up. I'm not gay but a guy has to look his best right? The staff is very warm and welcoming. Not at all snobby. The bartender produced some very inventive and tasty shots that complimented the suggested appetizers well. Not really my scene but I highly recommend it.

If you like beer, this is your place. It's small so don't show up with 20 people or anything. The bartender (and owner?) was very knowledgeable about the selection and quite friendly. Made me feel like a regular my frist time there. No food but they let you bring in food from the sausage place next door that I also highly recommend.

Overrated and overcrowded pick up joint. Equally long time to get a drink from the wait staff or the bartender. I have no opinion of the food as after waiting an hour and fifteen minutes I had to cancel my order and go someplace else.
