Imagine Cheers meets the Addams Family. Such a cozy little bar with an off-center vibe. The spooky vibe was perfectly offset by everyone being so friendly.

Sylvie and Faith were awesome! Love the venue, it was adorably spooky and quiet. The atmosphere was great, not very busy, and the drinks were amazing. Great Teas, and Mocktails

Latrice

The drinks are sensational and tea complimented the balance. The service and vibe classic.

This small but mighty bar is very impressive and you can tell a lot of thought went into it. Its unique, good bar tenders, great drinks, and overall fabulous bar. I wish more bars were like this.

*warning to newcomers: you need to scan the qr code before you enter so you can use the code to get in. Its a fun idea, but I was openingly mocked by the locals ( not in a fun way) that I almost left due to being very uncomfortable. I didn't know you need to do that but I figured it out. Its still a bar no matter how fun it looks so expect local bar behavior.

From the moment you enter in the correct code & enter this small, but intimate setting, you’ll be impressed with the outstanding service and comfortable surroundings. The level of skill shown by our bartender Sarah, and the passion she displayed was top notch. Highly recommend if you’re looking to just unwind and enjoy quality time with friends.

Strong attention to detail & creativity in the design of the space & menu. This is not a photo bait bar; decor was impeccable but drinks could stand on their own. Cozy space with welcoming, witchy vibes. Seasonal menu was creative & fun! Costumes & Halloween festivities were fantastic, but this should be a year round haunt for any cocktail fan!

The most fun place! My friends, husband & I went last weekend. The whole experience is awesome, from the code to get in, to the games, to the free stickers, to the festive and delicious drinks. It was everything we were looking for in our day of Halloween festivities. The staff is very welcoming and let us take pics of everything hah. I’m sure we were a little loud while we played cards & laughed a ton. We will be back!

Bones, as we affectionately call it, is our favorite local spot. We have been coming here every weekend for about a year now. The location is small in a cozy and welcoming way. It has such a warm and eclectic feel, with some witchy vibes as well. The staff and owners are not only masters of their tea and cocktail craft, but they are wonderful company. They are kind, friendly, and always catering to the needs of their customers. They have cultivated a wonderful atmosphere and community that we are proud to be part of. Now that their second location is open we get to see the lovely staff and enjoy more craft libations multiple times a week! This is a must-see location when visiting Wallingford.

This is the most magical hidden gem of CT, never have I been to a cooler bar than this fully costumed and entirely and completely witchcraft/Halloween decorated haven of alcoholic elixirs and even more so, to die for mocktails! The potion mistress herself, Sarah, will concoct the most delicious and gorgeous drinks for you on the spot, she just wins you over with her charm and unique creations. This really is just a stupendous sanctuary for all things magical!
