Great addition to the neighborhood. Capitol Hill has no shortage of bars but this is the kind of bar that hasn't turned into a place to see and be seen... yet. The layout is great, allowing plenty of seating for big groups or couples. There are different areas for people who just want a drink, or a small space that feels like somebody's living rooms for board games to a big area with stools and a pool table. I haven't even mentioned the upstairs area with even more bar games such as darts! Yes, this bar has a little of something for everybody. Even though there is not kitchen, you can order pizza to be delivered or bring in outside food which is a huge boon with Kedai Makan and Dinette being only a couple of doors down. Highly recommend for an after work drink or a weekend night out!

What an awesome little spot. Quirky layout, friendly staff, and mellow regulars. A great stop if you're bar hopping this area.

The bar, the owners, and the set up is what's up! Love this local bar with a bunch beers on tap and games like pinball, pool (free on Sundays) and darts!
