good meat to veggie ratio in the sliders! Good place to get a quick drink before a movie!
So cool. So easy to miss unless you look for the stairs. It's named after the cool underground water in cave formations in Mexico, etc. Similarly, it's an oasis from the hustle and bustle on main streets of Victoria. Their stuffed dates are like a flavour explosion, the duck wings are awesome too. Hard to choose. It is very loud inside with the chit chat, but I can see why a popular spot. Definitely would come back, our waiter was so chill, I aspire to have his level of chillness.
This place is the best speakeasy, on the main drag but off the beaten trail. Artwork and book collections break the space into warm and inviting niches to hang privately, whether it's an intimate date or a group party. High quality food ingredients and a libations menu that is easy to find something for every appetite. Unique and local, this is the spot I want to meet my friends at when we are out downtown.
Definitely a to go place thank to Taylor the cook and Zoe our Barmaid.
A little quieter than I would have expected for a Thursday night! It's a nice little hole in the wall that has a good selection of cocktails and mocktails. I'd say stop by after a movie at the theatre up the block.
Matt always with the great service! Foods amazing and the drinks are even better Come join us at Cera soon !
Best vibes and cocktails! I especially like the Desert Springs Tears cocktail.
Love this place. It's fantastic. Great good, great cocktails, little noisy but that's expected with the space.
Cool place but limited vegan/vegetarian options and very very noisy for dinner. I didn’t care for my food, but my companions liked the pizza okay. The chocolate dessert however was fantastic.
One of the best places in town for delicious cocktails and food. Great vibes, killer staff and a new breakfast joint upstairs now!

I really liked this place! It had a cool, underground, funky library-meets-Edgar Allan Poe vibe—dark and moody, with ambient lighting that gave it a grotto-like feel. The original artwork and plants added to the atmosphere. The food felt like a mix of someone’s all-time favorites, with fun twists on the classics. Lots of unique cocktails—delicious and creative. The appetizers were especially good, like the nachos, which had a great spin on the standard version. We also tried the flatbread pizza, which was pretty good, though I preferred the nachos. The service was spectacular. Our waitress was hilarious, upbeat, and all-around awesome. Great place! Would definitely come back.
Slay spinny artichoke dip. Loved it. Sucks that they don’t have a gluten free chip option but appreciate that they let me bring in a big bag of tostitos lmfao.
Went for drinks and tapas last night for my birthday. The food was awesome, especially the spinach dip and baked brie. Cocktail options were great, wine selection is very limited. The server (I didn't get her name) was amazing, she had an infectious laugh, and was quick to get us anything else we ordered. Was a wonder experience. 100% will be back again
Cute and cool, lots of dates are happening here. It's dark. The food portions seemed small for the price. Happy hour drinks are a decent deal.
One of the best hidden cocktail secrets in Victoria. Love this place .
