Heard about this place from watching a show discussing Vegas & it's "happening" places. Penn Jillette ( of Penn & Teller fame ( is a huge fan of this place. So much so he has a booth & table ( I think he may of had it custom made ) in his personal kitchen. It's a busy place...tourists, locals, celebs, EVERYONE! It's on the strip, within walking distance from allot of the hotels etc. Definately a must is you want to experience what I call "an more upscale dive".

I only had one beer here, but it was the winter seasonal (which they were selling quite a bit of) and it wasn't very good. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad beer, but it just didn't do it for me. As a Belgian style winter ale, I expected some flavor. Instead, it was mostly the high alcohol content that I tasted. It just didn't do it for me. (It was better with the ginger cookies they served, but that's not enough.) I can't speak to the food or other house beers, but I may give it another shot when I'm back in town. I just expected more from a flagship seasonal. Nice bar crew, though. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

My fiance and I bought a groupon for them to use and it was extremely difficult to get a time for both of us. So we booked it for Valentines Day as something special for us. Two days prior, we get a call saying that someone is sick, call back and we are told someone has a family emergency, and then the manager says that the nail tech is being let go...... so what's the real story? Called groupon and got our money back

To be fair, it was a really crazy Friday night. I've worked at two different coffee shops before so I do know how frazzled you can get when you're swamped and understaffed/ under-equipped. That being said, I had spent $3 for a $6 Groupon online for their store (the store would have had to register with Groupon for this to be available, I'm sure), and when I got there and handed it to them, they didn't know how to use it. Instead of subtracting the $6 from my order they didn't charge me for one of my drinks. She said "I didn't charge you for the cappuccino, because with tax it would be over $3 anyway." Then she asked me to pay for the small cup of hot tea and biscotti, which came to $4.42. So since I had already paid $3 online for this coupon, crediting me $2.50+tax for one drink didn't actually do anything at all. I didn't make a scene because the line was basically doubled up out the door. Unfortunately, to top it off, I had ordered an extra-dry decaf cappuccino (hate to be that annoying customer, but being a barista for 4+ years you can't help but figure out what you like =P) and I was handed a cup of black decaf coffee. I went back up and told them "Excuse me, I'm sorry, this was supposed to be a decaf cappuccino," and the woman apologized and started on my drink again. Her mother reminded her that it was supposed to be extra-dry and she acknowledged her. In the end I ended up with a latte with absolutely no foam. Not one ounce. The building itself could be nice, if it weren't so crazy, though I do appreciate that they try to have things going on to liven up the atmosphere and set themselves apart from other coffee shops, it just wasn't for me. So essentially, I got ripped off and never even got what I ordered. Kinda sucks; I don't have any plans to go back. Regardless, if it looks interesting to you, give it a shot; you may have a completely different experience than I did.
