Super cosy bar on Woodbine Street, just opened! They also have an amazing growing library and a movie screen. They have retro bookshelves that surround lounge seating, a fake fireplace, and old-school televisions. They even have board games you can play with other friends or strangers. If you have any books to donate, don’t hesitate to bring them over to the bar.
This place is definitely fun, cozy, and deserves to be in this neighborhood. I hope you will welcome them here as much as I did. Their hard work has definitely paid off.
