Great fun to find this hidden speakeasy! This intimate setting has a large selection of cocktails many of which can be made as mocktails. 🍹Wonderful ambience with decor and music. Really lovely staff and the owner/bartender was on duty when we visited and is super knowledgeable. The staff can dial anything in if you want something more sweet or tart.🍸 Food was yummy too. Really lucky we found this spot in Hilo to make our trip to the big island more memorable! 🌴 Just 30 minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. 🌋

I have been here above 4 times, have been really excited about this place, love the place, concept and its all about the unique drinks, but last visit drained any excitement an enthusiasm I had about the place I came in alone sat at bar and literally watched bartender make at least 25 drinks before mine, bartender never once acknowledged me or made eye contact for the 25 min it took to get my drink, the food person was nearby I asked for a glass of water he gave a small glass of water with no ice no straw even though I asked for it , asked me if I had given my order I said no one had waited on me this was after 15 min, i got 2 cocktails there but they were not up to the caliber that I had gotten before, they weren’t good enough and they should be cause it’s all about the cocktail at this place u need some one who knows how to give good customer service and make a good cocktail, I was really looking forward to the place but the service experience and the quality of the cocktail ruined it, I don’t think I will be back till u get a better bartender at night that is experienced and knows customer service and how to make the drinks as they should be

The place is cute and delightful (we loved spotting more and more little nēnē around the bar throughout the evening), the staff are warm and helpful, and the drinks were inventive and delicious. The happy hour prices are fantastic, and we lucked out to enjoy some live jazz-y covers of pop songs that they have every Tuesday evening. My favorite drink was 'The Tea' — rich, complex, and decadent 🍵

EXCELLENT happy hour cocktails. This is a very pretty date-night style cocktail bar serving quality drinks with super great bartenders. We had to come back for more drinks a second time on our trip! Very unique for the area as well.

Loved the service and the drinks here. My friend had the Smoky Bear and I tried to Ko Cane, both of which we really enjoyed. I love the special touches that they add to their drinks and the whole speakeasy smells amazing in large part to their drink curation. I have already recommended this place to others and will keep doing so!

Came here for drinks and charcuterie. Left without either because the server didn’t come until asked if I should order at the bar. Once the server came they took our drink order and we also wanted to order charcuterie so they said they would bring a checklist for the charcuterie order, but they stopped at other tables on they way back, which would’ve been okay if they had actually ever put our drink order in. When they finally made back with the charcuterie checklist, they asked again what our drinks were. I then got up to use the restroom and the bartender yelled when I made a mistake thinking a restroom (which I assume was just for staff) was available because someone had just come out of it. We canceled our order and left feeling unwelcome. Seems like it could be cool if the staff weren’t jerks.
