The cocktails are on another level. Each one is super innovative, and the ones I tried were definitely worth coming back for. The price is totally justified. We'll be back!!
This place served up high quality cuisine. From drinks to appetizers and dessert, everything was perfect.
The skewers we ordered turned out way more salty than I expected. What was more disappointing was the attitude of one staff member, who asked us to leave when we were just done with food and chatting at the bar, because “there is a line”. We looked around but there was NO line at all and nobody came to take over our spots after we left. Clearly he wanted us to leave for no valid reason. We left feeling rushed and disrespected. I personally would not come back again
Some cocktails are delicious and some are normal.
Japanese style
Cocktail bar- innovative cocktail options. Limited food menu
The cocktails on the menu are like a culinary experience. It’s very experimental. I’m not one to love savory drinks usually but I’ll say that bar iris executed its savory drinks well. The Ninjin Sour’s coriander taste is quite on the tongue, and it feels like I’m drinking a dinner. That said, I find it a very balanced drink. The menu also has less experimental and culinary flavors. I also got the Third Wheel (pictured), which is a matcha based drink and was super refreshing. It came in with a tea cup and that made it a bit more special.
Top bar program. Cocktails are innovative and delicious. Food and service are excellent as well.

Servers were cold and incredibly slow. Was very annoying having to try so hard to flag down the servers so we could close out and leave. We had the akama and the flapple - experimental and interesting but not tasty at all. $25 for the akama and $18 for the flapple. Would not go back and found it incredibly overrated and expensive. Servers also stand over you, disconcertingly closely, while you make the tip selection - super unprofessional and tacky in my opinion.
Two stars rather than one because the drinks themselves were visually beautiful and the decor is great.

good drinks, but no standouts or anything i would come back for, sadly.
also, in their menu they go on about their “exceptional service.” in my opinion it was weird, stilted, and uncalculated. not what you’re looking for in a nice bar with expensive drinks. not sure i’ll be back as the vibe / atmosphere / service all just weren’t there.
this feels like the kind of place that closes within the next year

Very swanky cocktail bar with inventive and tasty drinks. They also serve sake and wine. We got the fried chicken which was quite a big portion and after splitting that with my friend I was full. Definitely recommend!

Feels like a hole in the wall cocktail bar, super cozy on the inside. Definitely recommend getting Pear Pressure, it’s fragrant and refreshing. The Linda Linda is spirit forward but also delicious.
A great place to stop before dinner
