Just a special hidden gem. Wonderful.

Anthony Mancebo

Great cocktails, and such a chill place! Been here a few times and they are solid!

Jonathan Berger

I love the vibe here.

Step into a time warp of the quintessential 50s cocktail bar. Think Don Draper, low key lighting and vintage digs. Superior service and strong, hand crafted drinks with (often times) period correct music in the background. Not a place for beer but they do have one on tap.

Carol Cargill

I loved the atmosphere. A little slow at getting drinks out.

Nathan Buddrius

Whoops! We got a Uber from the hotel and wanted to check this place out. Super, super friendly staff. Beautiful and tasty drinks. Great atmosphere. Well we drank too much, but it was worth it. Great place to hang out, relax, and socialize. Good luck to the gentleman moving to Italy. Enjoy retirement!

I went here with a large group (over 10)
The organizer of our group phoned ahead and the staff had a corner area set up for us! Waitstaff is very professional, atmosphere is wonderful, drinks unique and good! The "bar snacks" were these amazing potato chips!
Only recommendation is some kind of easy to do food is missing.
Otherwise a surprising find / a total Gem discovery!
Highly recommend this place!

My favorite bar in the area!
The cocktails and drinks are made with care, and bartenders are very kind. The mocktails are super delicious and very fancy. Even of you are the dd, you will feel like you are having a drink!

The warm nuts they have on the menu are addictive and recommended!

Amazing speakeasy if you’re in to crafted cocktails, dim lights & a retro tiki vibe.

Shout out to Hugh for having wonderful taste in not only flowers, but also friends, and ESPECIALLY drinks! If you’re looking for unparalleled company, cocktails, or corsages… please visit Donald or Scott at the Imperial for an unforgettable evening!

NOT VET FRIENDLY

I was seriously looking forward to the jungle bird. I am a disabled vet psychiatric service animal. Two time combat and Purple Heart recipient. The host was really rude and turned us away.

Under the ADA and California law, state and local governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations that serve the public generally must allow service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the facility where the public is normally allowed to go.

Please change your policy. There are people have fought for this country and our way of life. They deserve to be treated with dignity.

The coolest local bar. Traditional drinks are made perfectly but there are also imaginative variations that are well balenced and very tasty. The staff are great - very friendly. The decor is retro and fun. Not to be missed!

Great ambiance, disappointing cocktails. Went here based on reviews and I’m not sure I would return. I tried the paper plane and sazerac - paper plane tasted like pure lemon and sazerac was bland, expected more for $16 $17 cocktails and the rave reviews :(
