This little gem serves great cocktails (I like the beer and a shot option where both change daily). Aside from the ambiance and cocktails, the main draw may be the $9 cheeseburgers dubbed by Alton Brown as "The Best Burger in America" in 2021. You won't be disappointed. This is a sister bar to The Flycatcher Club
