“ We were visiting from out of town and found this place on Google. It looked like a vibe we would enjoy and that's exactly what happened. After fighting the crowds on Black Friday, it was a perfect reprieve with the minimal noise level and art displayed everywhere you turned. I ordered the French 75 Rose' and it was perfectly made. In the second round, I tried the French 75 Blanc and assorted chocolates. I enjoyed that too. The staff was timely in greeting and serving us, welcoming, and friendly. We would certainly revisit French 75 if we are back in town and they are still open. ”
“ Coolest bar I've been in in a while. Great vibe, neat decor, delicious drinks! ”
“ Wonderful place and really good food and drinks. Sometimes there's nice live music, though live music is pretty loud downtown so if you're close to the performers you won't really be able to hold a conversation with whoever you're with. The cheese is really good! Holy shit!!! cheese!!! I love cheese,,,, ”

“ Live Jazz on a Wednesday night, YES please!! What a great place with friendly people and attentive staff. The cocktails I tried were really creative, unique & delicious. Being a fan of ginger, I tried the Kickin' Cherry Mule and the East Meets West (which had this spicy smokey things going on) delicious! The live Jazz was professional with a friends gathering air, not stuffy at all, more loungey and laid back. I really enjoyed myself. The staff was friendly and very helpful in making suggestions for pairing different charcuterie board items together for a unique and tasty experience. The gallery pieces are beautiful and introduce a unique aesthetic lending an upscale flair & the placement and style of the furnishings make you feel at home making a perfect vibe. ”
