It was a really late night, but the service was amazing nonetheless and the brussels sprouts were very good. I will go back.
Good house frozen margarita! $13 regular price but $7 during HH. Ambiance is nice in here, full food menu available. Largeeee whiskey collection and options to choose from. 8/10 rating
This is a really beautiful bar! definitely come check it out. There's a nice rooftop where u can sit down and hang out. There's darts you can play for free if you give them your id. you do have to pay for pool tho. But the drinks are delicious and strong. The AMF had me pretty messed up. The bartender was very sweet and friendly! will be going back again someday
We came here on a Sunday just before the brunch ends. The day was gloomy (rain and cold) so there wasn't a crowd. We ordered several tacos. The beef cheek was incredibly tender. I also enjoyed the shrimp and chicken tacos but both of those had slaw which tasted too salty for me given that I follow a low sodium diet. I asked them to remove the slaw from the beef cheek and it was better. My dining mate also enjoyed the crab rangoon dish and the chicken wings. If the vibe is always low-key I could see myself returning. This would also be dependent on the music -it had quite a drastic shift when we were there from hip-hop/pop to practically heavy metal. Staff was nice and friendly. Service was quick.
A friend and I went to Eight Row Flint on a chilly evening and I loved that we were able to sit outside because they had large heaters/ firepits for us to sit by. Our server was very friendly and made some good suggestions during our time there. We were there during happy hour so we both ordered frozen margaritas for the first round and red wine for the second. The margarita wasn't as flavorful as I'd expected it to be so it was better for me to switch. We shared an order of the queso to start and I was glad that it wasn't spicy - just flavorful and delicious! For my main, I ordered the cheeseburger with curly fries which I'll admit isn't something I'd usually order. The burger was OK, but tasted more like a fast food burger than something from a sit down restaurant. All in all, I'll definitely visit again and will try a different main next time!
And we keep coming back... The whiskey selection is superior and the tacos are spectacular! It's nothing fancy but totally worth it. We love the pork carnitas, shrimp and Brussels sprout tacos. The cocktails and fresh and imaginative.
