Prosciutto Bros. Craft Bar is a cozy spot with an 'amazing atmosphere', as per one review. With 'abundance of alcohol choices', 'modern vintage' decor, and 'friendly, helpful staff', it's a 'welcoming place'. The 'nice vibe' and 'great food' make it a 'nice catch up place' or a 'great place for an after work drink and pizza'. The 'live music' on Friday night adds to the fun, but the noise can be an issue for those looking for a quieter setting.
