“A local owned gem that includes a fantastic bar with a ton of cocktail choices that met our expectations. After our cocktails we completed the tour & spirit tasting with the founder and lead distiller Jason who provided the group with so many details and how a small distillery operates. Located on Main Street in Mesa, AZ in a historic building that is spotless and welcoming completes the whole experience. Earning multiple awards at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition sets this small business above so many others. Visit them and follow their social media pages for additional information.“

“Went there (party of two) last night for a meal of appetizers and drinks. We ordered the shrimp cocktail hoping for a chunky ceviche-type experience. The flavors were good and just the perfect kick. Our preference is a little less tomato juice and a little more of the chunky ingredients (reason for 4 on food). We also ordered the Queso Fundido. Very good flavors. Love the chorizo and the homemade corn tortillas.

Cadillac marg in a small glass...$19 (yikes!). Good but maybe not worth that price.

Service was excellent.

Downsides on this restaurant in general is how loud it is inside (reason for 3 of atmosphere) and how challenging to park(nothing they can do about parking).

Whoever owns this corner has put wayyyy too many busy restaurants in place for the amount of parking. So, if you want to come here arrive early as the restaurant is popular and they do not take reservations.

I definitely think overall the food is worth it and we will come back.“
