“I am in love! Some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long long time! absolutely in awe of the bartender’s skills. The drinks don’t just look pretty, they’re delicious too! Worth every penny! Please visit!!! The only thing I found weird was that I called the restaurant and they weren’t willing to take reservations, but when I showed up there was no walk-in limit. Wondering if this is due to Covid restrictions but I’m not sure.” – Rabab. R.

“So I ended up coming here on my 30th birthday in the hopes of meeting a tinder date for karaoke. Well, I got stood up, and still ended up having one of the best nights out solo I’ve ever had. Campbell, one of the bartenders, made my night. He served up drinks, cracked some jokes, showed some sympathy, sang some tunes, and just ended up making my night great. This is my new favorite karaoke spot, and I’m excited to start coming here on the regular.” – Michael C.
