I created the topic because I didn't see one that already existed for this location. I've only visited once so far, but I had a good time. My lady and I arrived early on Friday (around 4:30 or 5), and the bar was essentially dead. We were able to look around and order drinks and an appetizer without any wait. We sat outside initially for our first round. By the time we finished the appetizer (fries) and had our first drinks (the Dromedary and the Mt. Kilauea Colada), the bar was getting pretty busy. Young hipsters started arriving to order beer-scented water. We got up to order another round, and when we walked back outside, our table was already taken!

So we sat inside and ordered dinner. The burger I had was very good (a special, I don't remember the name). We also had the zombie, welcome to havana, and a special drink called the Frozen Flamingo, which came with a mini inflatable flamingo pool floatie which was ours to keep. I wasn't a fan of the Welcome to Havana, but everything else was tasty.

Bar has a cozy corner with a high table and some masks on the wall overlooking the table. There's a pinball machine across from the bar, but I don't know if it works.

When we were there, service was good until the crowd overran the place. The one server and one bartender became quickly overwhelmed and I had to wait nearly 30 minutes(!!!) just to order a drink at one point. I attribute it to being Friday night. Perhaps during the week the joint is a little more chill in the evening. At least the music (no exotica, just indie rock) wasn't loud, and there were no televisions.

I would like to visit the bar again to sample the rest of the drinks. Of course, I'd like to see one of the burlesque shows.
