Love. LoVe! LOVE this place. We made reservations and had a fabulous time. They started us with tea as a palette cleanser, and even the non tea drinkers didn't mind it.Everything about this place is cool...the ambiance, the music, the staff and the way they make craft cocktails. I didn't want to leave, sadly we had dinner reservations, next time I go, I will plan accordingly. It's just a special experience and place to chill.Hands down, best.place.EVER.

Dark intimate and fun. They crafted one of the best cocktails I've enjoyed! We will definitely be back. Reservations are recommended but we'll worth the extra work.

The best cocktail experience Des Moines has to offer. We went with a group of 5 friends. They made drinks for us by asking questions about what we normally liked to drink. Each of us got a unique drink based off of our likes. Everyone loved them and they each had a great presentation. Very unique experience!

The host was very kind to let us in even though it was packed with only 1 bartender. We went around 10 pm on a Saturday. The theme was 'No Menu,' which meant you told the bartender a few flavors you like, and he'd make you drink based on your preferences. My husband went with whiskey influences, and both were flavorful and sweeter than I would have predicted. He loved both drinks. For my first drink, I asked for lavender, elderflower, honey flavors. I forget what he called it, but it was decent. The second one I asked for tajin. He made me a margarita with butterfly pea flower (or whatever makes your drink purple), egg white froth, tajin on the rim and he said, "I forget what else - I blacked out when making it." ? Bartender and atmosphere was awesome

Love the atmosphere here and really admire the creativity of the menu. You’re always in for a fun surprise when you come here, while also being greeted with a delicious little cup of tea when you’re seated. The bartenders are excellent! I had the grasshopper on the winter menu, and it was delicious!

Love this place! It's small. It's intimate. It's nicely decorated. Don't forget to make a reservation ahead of time! You have to go through Hello Marjorie to get there.My first time here was with friends. More recently, my boyfriend and I have come for their themed menus--Halloween and Christmas. They start everyone off with a hot tea to cleanse their palates. The cocktails are always impressive! The Halloween drinks for their "Disturb" menu were pretty crazy but I loved everything I got. The flavors worked! Highly recommend.
One of my favorite cocktail bars, which I try my best to visit any time I’m in Des Moines. Definitely hidden - you have to know where you’re headed in order to find it, but the drinks are absolutely outstanding. The presentation is top-notch, and the flavors are out of this world. If only I lived closer - I’d be a regular!
