Fun speakeasy with a funky vibe. Really affordable food and the cocktails were 10/10!
The staff went above and beyond with service and even had some good recommendations!

Tucked away behind an unassuming entrance, this spot feels like a true secret. The cocktails are top-notch, the limited food options are tasty and well done, and the team really elevates the whole experience. Warm atmosphere, great music, and absolutely worth a visit.
Great little spot that’s a bit incognito. They have some decent happy hours deals! We got a negroni and a Long Island iced tea for $10 each which isn’t too shabby but they also have a range of original cocktails that look fun to try.
Inside it’s dark and moody with candles which makes it feel very intimate and kind of a fun place.
They also have a small back patio that’s unheated and sometimes you can get attacked my mosquitos in the summer so make sure you have bug spray.

A small little trendy hole in the wall bar tucked away in the basement of a building. Entrance is an inconspicuous door on the south end with a red light. Good prices for drinks, add a tiny menu with very reasonable prices. They also serve unique craft cocktails. Service can get a little slow when they're busy, there was only one bartender for the whole room and once the craft cocktail drink orders start backing up is only so much one person can do. It definitely gives off the cool hidden spot vibes, complete with everything feeling like it's held together with electrical tape and a prayer. I would definitely like to come back and try their food. This place might become my go-to for after events drinks.

This is a hidden speakeasy-style bar with a discreet storefront and a red light outside, which is a fun concept. Overall, everything was perfectly fine, but nothing really stood out to me. We tried both classic cocktails and house specials, and while they were good, none were particularly memorable. The space feels like it has the bones to be very cool, but the décor didn’t quite feel fully realized yet. It was busy, so it’s clearly a popular spot, but for the price point, I felt the ambiance could be a bit more elevated. All in all, it’s a solid neighborhood bar, just not somewhere I’d go out of my way to bring friends for a special night.
I also didn’t try any of the food, but I will say I appreciate seeing beyond meat on the menu. The only thing I thought is most dishes were meat and cheese heavy so it would be nice if they also had a vegan cheese. Food seemed super cheap and affordable as well.

It's somewhat difficult to find hidden in an alley with no signs in an underground area which gives it a hidden cool vibe. The drinks were original and delicious although it didn't blow me away its definitely in my top 5 for Vancouver when it comes to taste. Great spot if you're trying to impress someone

this place is cool. it has a hidden storefront and the inside has a grungy kinda vibe. they have a ton of creative drinks to choose from. i got the daily special drink and it was delicious.
last time the bartender with the long hair was really nice i would give him 5 stars. last night, me and multiple other customers felt very unwelcomed, like we were committing a war crime for going out on new year’s..it was also like 10:30… just very strange.. sorry for coming in..

Music is way too loud. Upwards of 100db with average of around 85-90db.
Love the bar but probably won’t come back for a while on account of this.

A bartender wearing a cap with long hair came to our table and singled out one person in our group, asking them to leave for being “too drunk,” which was not accurate. It was handled publicly, with no discretion or attempt to clarify. Immediately after, the tip option on the payment machine was disabled, which felt petty and unprofessional.
Poor judgment and badly handled. Won’t return.

A real vancouver vibe here. Beautiful cozy space hidden in a back alley with super creative cocktails and decent food. Josh took great care of us at the bar. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic vibe here. If you don't like the small cramped vibe then dont visit a dive-esc cocktail bar. 7 stars
24-25 cad cocktails has almost zero alcohol… Fancy glittered juice

Once we figured out the entrance (from the side alley, under the red light), we had a great evening here, including taking advantage of the various drink specials.
Don't order the tacos or burritos, they are absolutely terrible 😭
