This place is fantastic and a must visit when in Lawrence.
All the drinks are delicious and there is something for every pallet. They are well balanced, super tasty, and creative with fun names and a cute menu, and each drink has assigned adorable glassware. The atmosphere is relaxed, with a lot of cute little areas. The staff is really knowledgeable and friendly and know the craft well.
We had a kid in the group and they made them a tasty kiddie mocktail.
This place could hold their own with any of the great places in NY, Chicago, LA.

A bit small and usually crowded so it can be hard to move around, but drinks and service are the best in Lawrence.

I've been here a few times for drinks which were great, as was every other part of the experience, you can get that from the other glowing reviews.
My unique story is that I left my card here one night, and when I realized I thought I was screwed since they didn't open for another few days. Just on a whim I went by on a Monday to see if someone was there, and I caught one of the bartenders (that I saw the other night!) just as he got there. He was super friendly and understanding and got me my card back right away. I choose to believe this was intervention by a higher power. Thanks again!

I’m giving this place 5 stars because their drinks were amazing and the service was exceptional! The atmosphere was a bit grungy compared to 324 or Knox though.
Recommend due to drinks and service!

“I’m going to write you a glowing review,” I yelled as our bartender chased us a full block in the rain after I had left my sunglasses on the table. Atmosphere was everything you wanted. Drinks were interesting and approachable. The soap in the bathroom. Will be back!

Despite being extremely friendly and tipping generously, I was poisoned with Visine by the staff here. Beware.

Wow! What a cool place! The hubby and I like to have a cocktail every now and then and finding a special little spot like this is our favorite.
The vibes were so great. The staff was helpful, pleasant, and attentive. Loved it's funky vibes with all the cool decor. It's small and intimate. The menus were so cool (moleskin!) with really interesting cocktail options and clever descriptions. Plus they had NA options. All the drinks were so tasty!
The only reason I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars is we had a Downtown Lawrence gift card that they wouldn't honor even though their location was listed as a place that would take it. Their system, apparently, wasn't set up for it. Again the staff was courteous and apologetic but we were very disappointed by that!

Simply the best cocktail bar this side of the Mississippi. Every drink is well thought out, well crafted and uses high quality and interesting ingredients. Severs are always attentive and knowledgeable and can help you find the right drink. The rotating menu keeps things fresh. A must stop if you are in town.
