“ This little cocktail bar is so cute and cozy! The waiters are the friendliest and nicest.. enjoyed the vibe and will def be back. Please note its really small ... I will def be back. I need to try a lot more drinks on the menu... the list was impressive and so is the presentation! ”
“ A must do if you can get in . Special in every way. Small. Delicious. Lovely. A hidden secret of a place. Go early! ”
“ Great spot! They have a great list of cocktails to choose from. Small place so you may encounter a wait but it will be well worth it. Right across the street from the Starbucks Reserve Roastery and makes it convenient to go to both while in that area. ”
“ Nice cocktails, and a great selection of food dishes here! I would recommend their whiskey based cocktails the most, try their old fashioned variations and they would not disappoint you. There are also some special cocktails that use Sake/Soju in it, and they are in general pretty refreshing and awesome! The food here is Ok, but a bit pricey. I would recommend the cocktails here over the food. Overall, it’s a pretty good place for awesome cocktails! ”
“ This place has the most interesting cocktails I’ve seen on a menu. I wanted one of everything. The place is small and intimate which, I love. Ambiance is great. It is hard to get in at peak times due to this...but keep trying because it’s great. The food looked interesting, but didn’t get to try so we’ll have to comeback. EDIT: Finally tried the food. It’s as amazing as the drinks. A new must stop when in the area. ”
“ Great staff, try going during late week day to avoid waiting to enter. Nice cozy ambience, retro restroom. Cocktails are delicious, high quality!!! I tried most of the cocktails from the shaken and sour list and Midnight Mass was excellent. I'm totally going back to try more. ”
“ A swanky, fancy, quirky cocktail bar with low lighting and very interesting/strange/unique/fun drinks! I went with friends but we all agreed this would definitely be a great date night spot. Each drink had lots of different flavors that were well balanced but somewhat surprising. My friend got a rum based cocktail with coconut cream, pandan, and Thai curry spices and you could taste each of these in succession. It was fascinating. I'd definitely recommend this spot for fancy unique cocktails! ”
“ It’s a charming, compact and cutesy spot which makes it feel cozy and inviting. The cocktails are delightful! A perfect place for a laid-back evening! ”
