Best cocktail bar in town! So esthetic as well. Gorgeous & Delicious!
We visited Victoria for a weekend getaway, and did a bar crawl of the top-rated cocktail bars in downtown Victoria. This was our favorite, and it wasn't all that close of a contest.
The location feels secluded and intimate, the menu is beautiful and with a coherent theme. The fact that many of the cocktails were available either alcoholic or non-alcoholic was great, have never seen that before - and the NA drinks were delightful as well.

Cocktails are the main attraction. I wouldn't come here for dinner if that's your primary goal. Excellent service and the recommendations were well thought out. Can get louder when full but great for conversation when 70% capacity. The intimate nature of the seating is perfect for a post/pre dinner cocktails with a date or friends. Food in a pinch is worth consuming and fairly priced. Will keep coming back.
