“My boyfriend and I stopped by after spending time at the pier and the beach, and the energy here was on point. Tyler and Allen, MC for the open mic every Sunday from 6 to 10pm, were super welcoming. Customer service was great, drinks were on point, and the hookah was five stars. Such a dope spot to relax, vibe out, and just be yourself. A true safe space for all humans 🌈❤️ (Spread love and not hate, always!)”
