Thanks for the love, and the good people of Charlottesville! Finding a seat at our bar can be tricky! Before our first seating from 5-6pm and after our second seating from 930-1030pm are the best times to drop in for a cocktail, especially during the weekdays. Congrats to our hospitality homies .cville !
