Bar and wait service were really, really slow. Waited well over half an hour for a glass of wine and a cocktail.

This is a really offbeat, engaging establishment, discreetly located, strong on character, with a genuine commitment to quality and service. It’s essentially a speakeasy atmosphere but sparing us the usual ‘secret password’ inconveniences etc. It’s not inexpensive but nothing’s expensive really unless something goes wrong— and I didn’t see that happen here. A very knowledgeable and strong emphasis on craft cocktails but not tediously complex as in Bar Leather Apron and other various spots. They know what they’re doing; mixologist Boo has it very very together. Insanely impressive spirits list, especially for dark spirits— Bourbon heaven. The emphasis on the cocktail menu offerings as good as they are is perhaps strong enough to an extent where one might feel almost ignorant or unappreciative simply by ordering a regular drink. But this place is straightforward and welcoming, cozy and focused. I would’ve thought I was in Manhattan.

Drinks: tasty and balanced They offer a nice selection of whiskey and whiskey and tequila cocktails; however, there wasn’t very many vodka drinks. The ones offered seem too sweet and made with pre-made juice/syrups. The server recommended an off menu vodka cocktail that was nice and citrus forward so that was a nice accommodation for the lack of vodka cocktails on the menu. Food: Charcuterie platter included a variety of items, which were perfect for pupu! The fries were yummy with the different dipping sauces - especially liked the Serrano pepper dip, but beware - it IS spicy! 😜 Ambiance: Dark and moody - need a space for larger parties in main dining room that can seat 8+ ppl comfortably. Service: Server was friendly and accommodating; provided great drink recommendations! Enjoyed our visit and would return!!

Food portions were small on some of their items and did not equate with the price point. Kinda cool place to have drinks - but the drinks are pricey as well. Outdoor area looks cool but lots of dirty dishes left out on the table for the guests to see on their way to their tables inside the establishment.

Great ambiance and big for a speakeasy. Didn't try the food, but the menu looks good and from what I saw on other tables it looked good.

Love the creative hand-crafted cocktails, food menu and ambience. The flavors are thoughtfully balanced with unique edible garnishes that are very appealing. Our bartender and server were amazing too!

The food is expensive for what you get. We order a charcuterie board, the bread is ok (La Tour Cafe) the cheese was nothing memorable or really special. Also got french fries, beet salad and octopus, is not bad but wasn't what I expected. The drinks were ok. 200$ plus tip later, went home to eat some more, those tapas did not hit the spot. We sat in the patio, the ambiance inside maybe better.

Really nice location! Well designed and great ambiance. Drinks and drink choices were outstanding, especially for single malt fans. The food was simply SALTY. Go for the drinks and conversion. Would go again, but only drinks.
