I love the vinyl vibes. I want to just walk around and look at all the attention to detail and decor. The old speckled hen is foamy and delicious. Totally miss drinking non IPAs. The mixed drink we got was meh because the rum was pretty sweet (thought it'd be a dark and stormy). Seems to host a bunch of parties and has a great outdoor crowd.

The fella in the red happy dad cap was the best cocktail creator I’ve ever seen. Took such care and attention. It was the best cocktail I’ve ever had quickly followed by the next bartender with the 2nd best cocktail.

Cocktails were fascinating (I had the toke Banana), the live music was great (I was there for a vinyl launch) and such a great vibe.
