Came here recently and overall had a good time. The atmosphere was great for a lounge setting, and the drinks were excellent. The finger foods were enjoyable, though a bit too garlic-forward for what I’d expect from a high-end lounge. Unfortunately, the service didn’t quite match the standard. It took about 15 minutes after being seated before our server returned to us, despite staff standing around talking while the place was busy. It was also off-putting that the server smelled strongly of cigarettes. Still, the experience had its highlights, but the service and attention to detail could definitely be improved.

My compliments for the ambience and drinks, including presentation. But the deal breaker is: if you’re enforcing a 90 minute rule, make sure your service is up for it. Look I know downtown bars need to keep moving, I’ve been to a few before. But It took me a long time to be greeted, another good time to take orders and yet another long wait for drinks. Drinks were wrong, so another wait. At 75 minutes I was not only presented with my bill, but an also a machine ready to take our money immediately. At minute 80 we were out the door.

Best cocktail bar in town 🤫.
The presentation is unique, the service is amazing, and the atmosphere is breathtaking.
One of the not many places that has comfortable couches to relax in. I absolutely love this place and bring everyone of my family and friends for a drink when they come to town.
Keep it up guys 🥂🎆🥂

Loved the atmosphere here. The vibe is fun, lively, and really adds to the whole experience. The cocktails tasted great and were clearly made with care.
Some of the presentation pieces were a bit large for the table, but they were very creative and definitely added a unique touch. The GM of the place was very knowledgeable and friendly.
The highlight of the night was the tableside magic show. All five of us were genuinely blown away. It was unexpected, entertaining, and made the whole visit feel special.

Excellent food and cocktails. This small establishment imposes (and enforces) a 90-minute time limit on all reservations. Not a great place to spend an evening, but it's awesome for a brief sit down.

This place was absolutely charming! The music, the vibes, the DRINKS! All fabulous from start to finish. My only pecadillo was feeling rushed out the door even though there were quite a few empty tables around us - be warned they are sticklers about 90 minute reservation allotment. Still, had a great time and enjoyed their unique presentation of cocktails 🍸

We had an unexpected glitch on Open Table that inadvertently cancelled our reservation for 6pm Friday, but the staff (I think it was Anastasia?) sorted things out and got us a table for 4 with little muss or fuss!
Thank you Prohibition!
And the cocktails and presentation were top notch yet again👏!

We loved this bar! We went to celebrate to our anniversary and we will come back for sure.
The service is outstanding. The atmosphere is amazing, the perfect 20’s decoration.
We had a pisco sour, really good! You can even made your own cocktails.
Gluten free options limited, but possible.

Went there for drinks only.
Cocktails - not the best. Out of four ordered, only one was ok, others felt pretentious more than anything
Cocktails presentation - well, this is where they tried their hardest. It did feel a bit tacky but it was fun. Each drink was brought on a themed serving board - see photos
Atmosphere - kind of loud, hard to talk to the persons across small table, imagine talking to someone on the other side of a large desk
90 minutes seating limit - what the hell is that? Each table has a 90 minute time limit, and you are reminded about that as you sit and then at one hour (“You have 30 minutes left for your seating”). At the time us leaving, which was at one hour and fifteen minutes as we felt rushed so ended up leaving before the deadline, there were several tables empty (it was Friday night), so why?
Overall - pretentious, not the best drinks, and rushed
