Tucked away behind Parkdale Pizza, this new watering hole will offer “classic drinks, classic service, and classic beats” in an atmosphere that’s sure to feel like one major #ThrowbackThursday.

Those who know the area may have crept into the space over the long weekend for a sneak peek, but the doors are officially open on Thursday evening.
