I've patron this little nook of Elizabeth since its beginnings and I've always found the not too dim atmosphere to be enjoyable and cozy. Two individuals that run the show, Ruben and Vincent, are gentlemen and are excellent hosts making sure glasses are full and mouths are smiling.
I've never encountered a bar keep that I've found to be disrespectful or unpleasant, hence my experience have it be lunch or a drink with a significant other are of recommendation.
I hope they're around for a good while - cheers.
