I've walked by this place several times and finally decided to stop in for a drink. They mostly have classic cocktils on the menu. I ordered the Paloma, which tasted great, but overall not memorable.

This used to be my favorite spot and I’m so glad they’ve reopened. The hours are odd so it’s hard to be consistent with dropping in but I still love this corner spot. Great for an after work drink or if you’re a solo adventurer. Good selection of wine too!

Totally awesome spot around happy hours most days with a nice retro vibe. Bartender Benjamin is the coolest and mixes both fabulous drinks and fascinating conversations. He truly enhanced our experience well we just had a ton of fun overall the quaint little alley downtown bar.

I’ve loved this place for years! I like places that are slightly off the beaten path like this (but just steps away from Market) and are on a corner. It makes it feel so open yet cozy. Their specials are slightly unusual and their bartenders are always good at coming up with the perfect drink if you describe what you’re in the mood for. It’s run by the same crew that own 15 Romolo so you know they’re going to make sure they have experienced people behind the bar.

Solid bar, great service, and very fair pricing compared to others in the area. Great post work drink/ pre-dinner drink spot. Closes on the earlier side.

Such a great cocktail bar for classics, low ABV, and aperitif driven drink. Thank you for the hospitality!

Overpriced and no sign outside made it hard af to find. Looks boojier than it is, and it's small.

Great place to have a drink and talk. Less pretentious than some nearby places, the barman new his cocktails!

The straws here are awesome! They’re biodegradable but not flimsy and don’t dissolve as you drink. Appreciate the investment in the little things ?

Also just a lovely atmosphere.

I really appreciate the investment in nice, non-paper, biodegradable straws.

My friends and I kept commenting on how great they were. Small touches like this make me want to come back to a place.
