CitySearch Tips

What to Drink

Martinis are plentiful, but there are also several rare local brews on tap, such as St. George Golden Ale Porter from Hampton and Red No. 5 from Richmond.

Where to Sit

Front-row window seats looking out over Granby Street's busy nightlife are perfect for hanging out and watching the world go by.

Parking

Street parking is metered until 6pm; you may have to walk a block or two once you find a spot.

The Extras

You can add $10 to any tapas for an entree-sized portion or be adventurous and share three or four different items. The menu changes seasonally.

  The food is on point, but the portions are just enough to piss you off.

  $3 PBR tallboys all day every day. Might be one of the best deals going downtown. Oh yeah, and the food is 100% legit too.
