This place is so cool!…daring concept to be different. I think they made it work.

Went there last night. Crowded and maybe 20-35% douchey (charitably). When I return, it’ll be on a weeknight.

So if the guy is wearing a jacket over his untucked button-down, he’s not a douche? Give me a break. A Rittenhouse “speak eaasy” that serves little more than gimmicky, over-priced drinks. If that’s not a recipe for douchebaggery, I don’t know what is.

Violet Hour in Chicago has a better drink menu, but if this place does it well, I’ll support it. And VH was $10 a pop which was very very very good price for their craft. That said, this menu has to be a bit bigger, and I don’t understand how on earth it will survive without food, even 8 – 10 snacks.

I’m picking up what this menu is putting down. I’ll have to stop in…but my douchedar will definitely be on.

YES! Collin! I was so gutted when he left Zahav without a forwarding address.

@sarah, I hope they realize that, because places like this and APO don’t survive without them.

Anyone know if this place opens during the week in the late afternoon or is it an after 5 thing 7 days?

The quotes on the menu are a nice touch. Good old Michaleen. “Me mouth is like a dry crust and the sun is that hot on me pate…”

Y’all know that there are perfectly wonderful, non-douche people who are financially comfortable, right?

Happy to report! Douche free! I heard he’s banned for life from the place!
