Now located in Seaworld area C...

The fried dumplings are awesome! No mystery meat here. It is like a great meatball wrapped in pastry . Highly recommended! A great snack with friends or beer food on your own.

Kyle Mims

The happy hour is now Snake Pit Ale and 1664 Blanc. Still a great place to network with other expats and socialize for the weekend or whenever you're free
