TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY THIS COMING SUNDAY! We didn't throw a party for the one year, so we're going all out for our two year. Here's what will be going down:

We will be launching an updated liquor menu featuring 20+ new whiskey's, rums, mezcals, etc.

Featured cocktails, punch, and food specials.

We're going to tap one of the last kegs of Hitachino 3 days left in the world. The 3 Days was an extremely limited Hitachino beer that came about from the 2011 earthquake that hit Japan.

Jesse Ito will be making special handrolls at the sushi bar from 6-10pm. 10 seats, first come first serve, 30 minute time limit per each guest.
