They have great food and the cocktail menu is impressive. They also offer mocktails and other beverages. I think Later Bye is a good blueprint for the future of bars.
i mean you would be amazed at how much busier a bar can be that a) has good non-alcoholic options, b) even just okay food, and c) is clean. it's amazing that last one even needs to be said, but that was the issue for me with pump bar, it was never clean, and we just felt gross when we left
