Dark and modest. No Televisions to act as distractions. It's a great place

Nice little bar. Kind of small but over all nice places. The drink menu is very different but also will make regular drinks off the menu. The Tequila sunrise was prolly the best one I've ever had. Will be back for sure.

The best place in Lawrence of you're into cocktail lounges (I am). Old historic building, sub-street level setting with corresponding low ceiling, stone and dark wood construction, low but not too dim lighting gives a unique and wonderful vibe. Drinks are really good and the staff are as friendly as they come. This is a real gem that is the best lounge venue in Lawrence and hard to beat in the KC area.

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.
