The bar is super fun and in the middle of the action in SB. Check out the happy hour for good food and drinks, service is solid too, nice spot to people watch.

We happened to be in town for their 1 year anniversary. Im not sure if the menu was different for this event but everything we had was worth ordering again. Ordered the Oaxacan old fashioned which was very strong! Really good but strong! Hubby ordered the ah huevo which let me tell you was amazing! The flavors and aromatics were on point. So good that I traded with hubby and ordered two more rounds of this. I really hope this drink is on their regular menu! Oysters were on the menu so why not?! There were 2 kinds so we ordered 4 of each which were topped with a house mignonette and micro cilantro. These oysters were incredible! The simple dressing over fresh oysters were amazing. We ended up ordering more because they were that good. Service was great, such a friendly cozy vibe. Small dark bar with few seating but worth it if you can get a seat. Will definitely be back.

First time here and spent a lovely rainy evening here with John and Ian who were tending the bar. First and foremost, the drinks are creative and SO well made; even a classic like the paloma was such a joy to drink. We also got a few round of their oysters which were pretty much perfect. The the ambiance and atmosphere fit the vibe 100%Check this place out, super good for a chill evening out. ?

What a cozy little spot! There are only a few nice cocktail bars in town, and this is now on my radar as one of them. John and Ian are so friendly and professional, the drinks are *art* (the peppermint espresso martini is nothing short of decadent), and the happy hour BOGO oysters are a great value. This is a great spot for a date or small intimate gathering. I will be back whenever I’m in town :)

Bartenders have always been so friendly here, but today me and my friend were basically ignored the whole night. I’m not sure if it’s because we came for happy hour- maybe you have a different standard of service for happy hour from a regular night?

Modern, moody vibes bar with a great paloma. I loved the attention to detail as my bartender made my drink, with peeling the grapefruit, altering with tequila or mezcal, Tajín or salt. Absolutely delicious cocktail, perfect for happy hour. I find it a little odd that happy hour ends so early (3-5pm) but nevertheless a great drink. Dusk is part of the Drift hotel on State, and in the mornings is a coffee shop called Dawn. You can see from the photos that it's pretty dark inside - however, there is Wi-Fi so it's a nice place to get some work done and have a drink. Definitely more of a "treat yo self" establishment - haven't been to a bar on state that offers oysters at happy hour.
