The Miranda

Interesting decor/my first time here/disappointed that the staff was frustrated with my desire to not leave my card on the counter for a tab due to data security concerns and the possibility of a phishing device hidden somewhere-they were miiffed about having to move the card reader system to the bar each time despite my paying nearly $10 a beer! Spent like $50 here on five draft beers-neither did they understand the need to not leave stuff behind /nor to not reveal one's personal identifying information on the card-rather than allow me to retain control of the card and protect the data from not only duplication but human view👀 the bartenders were trying to pressure me to run a tab which is not the modern method where the information is taken down once, after which only a signature is needed in the last four digits to pull up the account-they don't seem to be aware of the new school system and how it's supposed to be done with the customer plugging the chip in 💳 discreetly without any information shared/and signing out either each time or once at the very end! Instead they want to keep cards on the bar the old fashioned data compromising way-or handle the customer's card each time as if there could be no need for privacy! Perhaps when people are working in bars from other cities and other states they don't have such deep roots and such heavy political ties such that privacy matters? Lol

It seems small when you walk in front because you only see a handful of bar seats. You have to walk through the curtains to get to the main bar area. They switch up the cocktails every season. However, they always have champagne jello shots. Yummy! I've met friends to catch up and it's great because we can hear each other. It gets crowded on Friday after work but not too much that it's unbearable. I've also had happy hour here with a big group after work several times. I only give it 4 stars as I wish they had food that is a bit more filling than a charcuterie plate.
