new classy cocktail bar in los feliz! quick walk from jeni's ice cream. the drinks are well-balanced, uniquely crafted, ice cold, and very yummy! they have both old school classic cocktails and inventive drinks with trendy ingredients. a great selection of n/a drinks too!! lots of small bites, ranging from bar nuts to toast to crudo to burgers and even steak frites. very cute interior with new vintage vibes. excellent customer service. valet parking in a small lot plus street parking surrounding.

Delicious cocktails & food, and an even better vibe! Between my husband and I we ordered the Mango, the Blood Orange, the Vandell Martini, and the Pepper.
Of the drinks, the more savory ones, the Martini and the Pepper were our favorites. The Mango was a bit one note and had so much foam that its mouthfeel came off soapy, and the Blood Orange tasted a bit like a slightly more complex mezcal margarita. They were okay but not great. But my husband, who loves Martinis, said he we would definitely reorder the Vandell version, and the Pepper was a truly unique cocktail which combined the grassiness of green peppers with a bit of heat of chilis. Overall, the drinks were very good, if not quite as consistently excellent as the ones we've had at other neighborhood spots, Mirate and Bar One. The food was really yummy though, and I would say superior to what I've eaten at those spots. We ordered the Steak Frites and the Burger and both were delicious.
The atmosphere is excellent, I love the vintage details, original artwork, and the warmth from the dark wood throughout. The service was good, but it seemed that they had so many people in the standing room only section that the servers for that area got a bit overwhelmed. We had very good service at the start, and then by the end waited quite some time before we could even ask for our check because our server seemed to be covering so many customers.

LA needs more spots like this. A proper cocktail bar with great vibes. Every drink was well balanced and not overly sweet. The pandan stood out as a favorite. The space feels warm and inviting, and the service matches it. S/o to Vay for taking care of us!

Opening publicly on Dec 5th!
So excited for this, it will definitely be my go to for drinks/date nights.
The smoked tomato drink is my favorite, but they don't make bad drinks. Try something new and you won't regret it.

outstanding experience. The bartenders here are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about what they do. They’re not just talented , they’re also helpful, welcoming, and truly down to earth human beings. The level of service they provide is impeccable from start to finish. Every drink is crafted with care, and the atmosphere feels both elevated and comfortable. Easily one of the best bar experiences I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommended.
To Liam and Brendan, Thank you for giving me and my love such a great night. We’ll definitely be back when you guys open
