Comments
Despite the flaws, this is still a 5 star review because of the stellar bartending, and professional customer service.
The staff were very talkative and friendly and were very accommodating to us. While it was quiet, we kept up conversation with the bar tender as he made our drinks for us and it kind of felt like talking to an old friend(?).
The drinks themselves were amazing and really easy to drink, which I sometimes struggle with when it comes to alcohol. I couldn’t taste the sharp/bitter aftertaste of the alcohol in these cocktails. There also aren’t any ‘cheap’ spirit brands. They’re all artisan spirits from around the world.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting.
Overall, this bar is the place to go if you want a friendly place with amazing drinks with friends. You will not be disappointed.
