About

An approachable, neighborhood restaurant with not only a robust craft & classic cocktail program but also an outstanding selection of craft beer with six on tap plus 25 cans and bottles, accessible wines, and a full house of spirits. The vibe is laid-back-luxe and filled with images of reigning kings, queens, and other crown-wearers. Nestled in a stand-alone, two-story vintage brick building, the interior is a combination of bar space and lounging areas. The first floor features a fireplace lounge surrounded by mid-century modern, comfortable chairs and couches, while the second floor offers overflow and private party space with another full bar. Adjacent to the property is a spacious, socially-distant, and comfortable open-air patio.
