★★★★★ 5.0 Mariah Jo · Mar 2026

The ambiance in this bar is amazing. The dimmed lights and decor are lovely. You can hear footsteps of people on the ground floor which really adds to the secretive feel. The drinks and food were amazing I enjoyed the blushing whiskey sour and the special artichoke flatbread. The barkeep was the BEST and I had the privilege of meeting the owner who was very kind and welcoming. I will visit again.

This place turned out to be a really fun discovery while visiting Pella 😊🍹 The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The drinks were excellent, and one that I highly recommend is the Maple Bacon Old Fashioned — it was absolutely amazing and full of unique flavor 🥓🥃 We also tried a few appetizers and small plates, and they were all quite tasty and perfect for sharing. Another highlight was the staff — everyone there was incredibly friendly and made us feel comfortable right away 👍 Overall, it was a great spot to relax, enjoy some creative drinks, and have a good time. I’d definitely stop by again if I’m in the area 😄

One of a kind experience. Felt like I was set back in time to the prohibition period. Great music. Great ambience. The food was top notch first rate. Flat breads were amazing. Drinks were fantastic. Had the cranberry and orange gin fiz. Food and dessert was amazing. Family owned and operated. Recommend reservations for a Saturday night. Will be back. Best restaurant I have been to in a long time. Pelladise all the way. Hands down the best dining experience I have had in years.

Definitely at the top of our list for a relaxing night out. We love the atmosphere Kelly & Adam have created. It is warm, friendly and engaging. The food is delicious and is priced right. She is purposeful about creating plates that guests will enjoy and return for. Adam is a master behind the bar. He mixes drinks that will both delight and surprise anyone’s tastes. Don’t skip dessert; they are both fresh and wonderful. We love any of the cheesecakes and the chocolate pot. This is truly a family run business; the owners are present and care about your experience. They are always happy to welcome you & thankful you chose to dine with them.
