Owner and main bartender Johnny really delivers! Great selection and he's a master cocktail crafter! Good crowd of locals always ready to have a chat if you're in the mood. Love the empanadas, too! Always enjoy my time here!

Stumbled into this cozy little spot for happy hour and ended up staying way longer than planned—thanks to Sam, the bartender who somehow makes pouring drinks feel like a masterclass in hospitality. Seriously, Sam’s the kind of person who remembers your name, reads the room perfectly, and makes everyone feel like a regular—even if it’s your first time in.
The vibe is relaxed, no-frills, and exactly what you want when you’re winding down after a long day. Great drink specials, solid pours, and good conversation if you’re lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar. I came for a quick drink and left wondering if I should become a regular just to hang out with Sam more often.
Highly recommend for happy hour, first dates, or solo nights when you just want a good drink and great company. Just don’t steal my seat at the bar.

I’ve been here twice during their posted hours and they were closed. I called and no answer.

This is truly a hole in the wall bar. It really depends on the bartender, if you get the biker chick, good look, I don't think she like people that's not her color, now the guy bartender is down to earth and welcoming, It's quite, tucked away and a good place to stop, I just check the bartender before I enter.

The inside of the bar gives me speakeasy vibes and ambiance, with elegant dark wood, and fun sprinkle of apothecary. Delicious cocktails served fancy glasses. Friendly bar tenders.

Pricy but some very yummy drinks. Small size with a lot of ice.
Such a great cocktail bar. The drinks are very good, high quality. And the atmosphere is super friendly and welcoming. They have both indoor and outdoor seating that can accommodate groups. Will be going back again soon!

Great little find! Very good cocktails with friendly bar staff & pleasant atmosphere. Try the Caffe Verde coffee-based cocktail - great way to start the evening.
Parking: Free street parking in the evening. You may need to park around the corner just a could of minutes away.

Mushroom empanadas. Best empanadas I've ever had. And Jason is the best bartender
