I visited on Monday night with 3 other friends. Its located on the second floor of the hotel. It was very quiet and not crowded at all. We were seated right away. I thought everything was okay although the service would have been better. There were times when there was no waiter around to order our drinks.

Nice atmosphere with dim lights and live music. Good wine list, a bit pricey. Not hard to get a table.

Great ambiance & service. Sometimes I wish it’d be a little more spacious, but I still like it as a cozy place. Smoked gouda, French brie & cheddar are one of my favorite cheese selection.

Fantastic little bar hidden on the second floor of the Hotel Stanford. Wine, cocktails and beer. Live jazz music Thursday & Friday.

Service and wine - amazing. Food seems to be hit or miss. The first time I came the Brussels sprouts were ON POINT. Changed my mind about Brussels sprouts in general. The second time - Brussels sprouts were a huge miss. But the service was consistent. And the cheese/meat plate was legit. I would recommend.

Cheap happy hour located on the second floor of the Hotel Stanford in the heart of Ktown. If youre in the area, why not stop in for an after work drink. Happy hour drinks range from $6-$7 for wines and beers. Its a nice place to have chill drinks. You see a mix of the afterword crowd and hotel guests.

Such a cute little hidden bar upstairs in a hotel by the train on Broadway in k-town. I saw a lot of girls hanging with each other so dont worry about bringing your friend here.We got the $5 Japanese soporro beer and the garlic bread for $9 which was a small 5 piece appetizer. Nothing special. You can get better garlic bread if you go to Carmines and they give you big loafs of bread. These are small. Not much if youre hungry. The check came out to $20 and change which is worth it for a small hang out and drink. Overall, food is expensive and small amount. A place you want to come full and for a happy hour drink fassure!We really enjoyed the ambiance, music and how hidden this place is. Quiet with nice jazzy music.. We come to find the singer and band comes on Thursday and Friday evening after happy hour. Definitely a date spot and a great location! I would bring my boyfriend here too!So glad I spotted this on Yelp. They do have wifi..Whoot whoot!

This place is a gem! Its tucked away inside a hotel and only those who know would know to walk past the counter and go up the stairs behind it. Inside is a classy bar with great music. The place is a bit small but if they have a table, its a great laid-back time amidst the chaos of ktown.

This wine bar is so lovely. They have a happy hour from 6-8 pm, its quiet and relaxed, and its somewhat hidden. Best of all, its a block from Penn Station. Best of all worlds.

Kind of speakeasy-ish bar on 2nd floor of the hotel lobby, they have full bar so its not just wine. Good deco, intimate space, cocktails just ok, have some Jazz live music on the weekend

The perfect low key date night spot. The live music, vibe and menu are perfect if you are looking for something that isnt crowded, busy or noisey.

This is a very cozy, comfortable place with cute decor. Best part is its usually not crowded for good service, good wine and good ambiance during happy hour.

The wine list was mediocre and the food wasnt very interesting or high quality. One glass of wine was clearly off and I sent it back.

Whats up with the kitschy decor and cocktails that are clearly behind the curve? The bar is appropriately named.
