With its dimly lit interior and worn wooden floorboards, this dive bar exudes an air of authenticity that can't be found in the polished and sanitized establishments of the city's more upscale neighborhoods. Despite its rough exterior, the Bar is a place of warmth and camaraderie, a place where strangers become friends over a shot of whiskey and a game of poo

    The location is a modern restaurant with a unique cozy design inside. Outside it seems just like a nice restaurant with a patio, but once you come inside you will feel like an old French castle with chandeliers, moss on the ceiling, textured painted black walls with aged mirrors around, and a big fireplace in the middle. Quite a unique design. It has great modern Italian cuisine with an American twist to it. Note: Rates mentioned is for weekdays daytime only. Rates may vary for bookings on Wee
