The kitchen leans Cuban and Latin, which is an unusual and genuinely good match for a night of pool. Weekday happy hour runs 4 to 7pm with $5 bottles, $6 drafts and a $10 house cocktail from a list that includes a coffee-demerara old fashioned, a mezcal-and-gin 'That's Mezzed Up' and a Surge mule in your choice of spirit. The daily food specials are the better story, all dine-in only: Sunday brings three empanadas for $10 with $6 well drinks, Tuesday an $8 four-inch Cuban sandwich with fries, Wednesday $6 quesadillas with $6 glasses of wine, and Thursday $10 lechon tacos with $6 drafts.
Pool tables can be reserved, the space hosts events, and an Irish coffee or a dirty chai is always on the menu for the daytime crowd. Hours here run from 4pm Tuesday through Friday and 11am on weekends, late into the night; it's closed Mondays.
